Bio
I try to do a lot of things. Act, direct, write, comment, analyze- the list goes on. BUT. Above all else, I'm a storyteller. I believe there is a story in everything. So, that's what I'm going to be doing here. Hope you enjoy!

To Make Money, Or To Make Happiness?
To make money, or to make happiness, that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the mundane that leads to outrageous fortune, or to take arms by pen to fill the emptiness. I felt the best way to introduce the central idea of today’s post would be with an appropriately mutilated excerpt from Shakespeare’s vault. I know I’m not the only one who’s looked at life like this. If you made it this far, that’s probably why you’re here too. Why is it so impossible to feel like you’re doing something that’s not only worthwhile, but at its most selfish, base level of existence…FUN? And why can’t you make money doing it?

Spider-Man: What Happens After Everyone is Sent Back Home?
It’s no mystery that Spider-Man: No Way Home has left its mark on countless lives, myself included. From tears to cheers, the film offers a constant whirlwind of visceral and surreal euphoria. It awakens the kind of feelings only channeled through nostalgia and most importantly, empathy. No one can deny that Peter Parker’s intent on saving this ragtag group of multiverse misfits was anything short of selfless, but just how successful was his plan really? With all of the rogues cured, rehabilitated and sent home, it made me wonder for their sake: What happens next? What does this mean for the universes they return to? Does their world truly change... does their fate?

Spider-Man: No Way Home, Defining Peter Parker
Prior to it’s release, Spider-Man: No Way Home has undoubtedly been the subject of more theories, debate, hope, doubt and overall anticipation than anything cinema has offered in the 21st century. Although, in a world chuck-full of intergalactic warfare, magic, espionage, and ultra-advanced technology known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sometimes it’s hard to imagine a grounded friendly neighborhood Spider-Man sliding into the mix. How can something with so much buzz both get to the root of Peter Parker and fit into this massive world in an engaging and sensical way? Maybe it's through activating "instant kill mode".
