A Filmmaker's Guide to: Death on Screen
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Oliver Twist and Heidi are the two books I most recently finished reading. I enjoyed them both in different ways. And they both really had an overarching idea of redemption, though one had it in abundance and the other had an absence of it.
Sasha NicholsPublished 3 years ago in GeeksWhat Are the Publishers Missing?
Literary culture is where literature and culture meet in a dazzling display of socialising, friendships and artworks based upon our favourite novels, poetry and plays. For many years now, the aspect of 'literary' or rather of 'what is literary' has been up for debate. After genre fiction, literary fiction took over with the ability to transcend genre. But what exactly does that mean?

Erin ConnollyPublished 3 years ago in GeeksTop 8 Book Picks For Any February TBR (To Be Read List)
Every month avid readers across the world get together with their personal bookshelf, and game plan what amazing world to dive into first. Reading has become a personal form of therapy of mine for some time. It has allowed me to decompress after a really long day, and to channel stress into a different format. Normally I don't read this many books, and even going into last year, I was averaging only like 3 a month (if that). But now it's looking like I may be moving back to California at some point, and my goal is to hopefully not take as many books with me as I did moving here to Missouri where I currently reside.

Danny DuffPublished 3 years ago in Geeks“The Rugrats’: revisiting Angelica Pickles
During COVID, many people are sharing that they are rediscovering favorite television shows on Retro television stations. One program that I am enjoying all over again is Rugrats. This is an American animated children's television series that was created in 1989 by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon. The programs focuses on a group of toddlers and their day-to-day activities which always seems to involve their life experiences that turn into wonderful adventures in the imaginations of the children.
Cheryl E PrestonPublished 3 years ago in GeeksA Day as Toni Topaz
“Watch out, it’s the Bride of Jack Skellington!” That was one of many taunts that replayed in my mind as soon as got back home from another humiliating day at school. This time, it was more humiliating than the rest. Homecoming was this weekend and I was feeling very nervous because I was building up the courage to ask my crush Jordan Williams, the captain of the basketball team, to be my date. It sounded simple, until I was stopped by Bambi, the high school’s mean girl, and her sidekicks. “You really think Jordan wants to go with a skeleton like you?” Bambi said cackling alongside her friends. “She can find her date at the closest Party City!” One of her clueless sidekicks joked before they all walked away leaving me to hold my tears until I got home.
