Great news for fans of Colleen Hoover! Her book, It Ends With Us, has just been released as a movie! Before you head to the theater to see it, check out my review here: https://buff.ly/3uloMAh #BookToMovie #BookBlog

What witnessing this project has taught me is that when you can identify an audience's core needs and pain points, and then craft a solution that resonates with them on an emotional level, that's when you see campaigns take off in a big way.

A "Tearjerker" of the Very Best Kind International Justice Mission is a beacon of hope for those subjected to slavery and violence. In a world replete with moral confusion, this short video is a precipitant of a better future. To learn more about IJM, I recommend "The Locust Effect" written by founder, Gary Haugen (see posts on the Featured section of my Profile).

For a film that's devoid of any sound, #AQuietPlaceDayOne communicates what most films fail to do in two hours. The film does justice to the much-familiar story and the thrilling highs but fails to give a comprehensive view of the events that transpired and that are yet to come. Here's my detailed review:

"Beyond 1984: Julia's Revenge" - short film about Orwell work In this short film, I explore the story of Julia, the co-protagonist character in Orwell's “1984”, long after she has been tortured by the forces of Big Brother. This micro-story seeks to reflect on resilience and the ongoing struggle for freedom. I hope this new perspective on Julia inspires everyone to think more deeply about the issues of control and resistance in our world today. In “1984”, Orwell explored totalitarian control and the manipulation of reality, in what ways do you think these themes are relevant in our digital world today? #orwell #book #midjourney #runway #short #1984

The Usual Suspects (1995) - a truly clever, hip, plot-twisting, film-noirish, mystery heist thriller (with a sharp and smart script) was narrated by an unreliable, deceitful, and imaginative con-man. Watch it more than once to completely figure it out. See Filmsite's detailed review: https://lnkd.in/gmGke8A2
