La Loma Film Review—title derived from where I grew up and what I want to do here—is my latest attempt at a clean slate. It’ll be like most of my work: A series of dispatches about cinema, with inevitable digressions into other media and contrived metaphors through various disciplines. Think of it as the Anthony Edwards of pop culture newsletters: You’ll find yourself constantly wondering when it’ll put all its pieces together, but it should be a ride regardless.

I’ve been writing about pop culture on-and-off for ten years now, and I’ve juggled it with my busy schedule as a corporate slave for the past three. I’ve been published on Bright Wall/Dark Room, Medium, and Barber’s Chair Digital. According to my editors, I have good taste and a solid grasp of grammar and style, but I need to work on my punctuality. Only time will tell if I’ve learned that lesson by now.

If you’re one of my five or so regular readers from the before times, you already know my schtick. After all, this has to be my…14th(?) time starting anew on a fresh platform. No particular reason to think this one will stick, but I’m glad you’re still here.

So hit that subscribe button, leave nice (or mean) comments, tell your friends (or your enemies, if you’re not a fan)! Give me some of that sweet, sweet dopamine, and maybe get a good recommendation or two for your trouble.

Indie, but in a non-punchable way.
