Friends and Fellow Critics

Over the years, I’ve cultivated relationships within various critics groups, forging friendships with talented writers whose work I admire and read regularly. Most weeks, I interact with members of the Minnesota Film Critics Alliance.

However, several other groups, with members in Minnesota, the United States, and the entire globe, are my colleagues and friends. These include members of the Society For Cinema and Media Studies, Online Film & Television Association, International Film Society Critics, Independent Film Critics of America, National Coalition of Independent Scholars, and the Large Association of Movie Blogs.
