Is Comedy-Drama for Grown-Ups Dead on Film? – Frame Rated – Medium

Finding a place for grown-up movies today.

Frame Rated published an article of mine on their medium blog, it’s about the kinds of movies that James L Brooks, Greta Gerwig and Tamara Jenkins make and how they’re just the best

Very pleased to have an article I put my heart into curated by Medium. A lot of people loved Mark Hollis, myself included, so I tried to do him some justice here.

Dead At 21 | Adam Scott (Actor) – Absolute Travis T – Medium

From Dead to Ghosted, Dead at 21 that is, we’re talking Adam Scott (actor). A comprehensive and curious retrospective through a working…
