A New Phase

Introducing my new publication

Change is a normal and necessary part of life. Some change is forced upon us while at other times, we must do the hard things and initiate change especially change for the better. Change is also a necessary result of evaluation and re-evaluation. If we do not measure and/or evaluate our past performance, we will never understand where we fall short or our need for change.

I have also been evaluating my Medium journey and have decided it is time to make some changes and move in a new direction. I am a lover of movies, films, and the big screen and I think it is time to share this passion with fans, friends, readers (and writers), and fellow aficionados

Why Start Another Publication?

Why not? Medium might be deemphasizing publications but that doesn’t make them less important. I think it is an excellent time to start a publication. Best of all, it provides the opportunity to share one of my favorite pastimes.

Purpose and Raison D’etre

I am a lover of movies, films, and the big screen. What better way is there to share my passion with friends and fans than floating a publication dedicated exclusively to movies and films?

Movies are works of art requiring dedication, talent, and lots of hard work by actors, actresses, producers, directors, screenwriters, make-up artists, set designers, lighting experts, costume designers, graphic artists, and a host of creative people. Their work should be celebrated.

Not only do I get to watch movies, but I read, research, analyze, review and share my unique perspective. I also hope to moderate lively discussions and learn about your favorite movies and films

Presenting Screen Gems
