Rating: PG
What is the main focus of your site?
Practical movie reviews that go beyond simple plot-point analysis with insightful editorials by a film enthusiast who is also a film maker.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
Ultimately I hope to get my blog noticed by the widest audience of movie fans and movie reviewers possible. I also want to use my blog as a springboard to obtain gainful employment as a writer for hire or more purposefully, a paying day job.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I prefer an interactive community for my blog, equally comfortable as a teacher but also as one of many like minded and even not-so like minded people interested in movies and the entertainment industry.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I started the blog in May 2010, so not quite four months. I post updates frequently, sometimes several a day, but at least 4-7 per week. This doesn't include posting comments on other sites and forums. I also write for several other sites, mostly news and editorials related to the movie industry.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Dekalog
My Life Without Me
Love Liza
How did you hear about the LAMB?
You were listed on several of the sites I searched for on the net.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts and opinions about movies but I'm equally excited about learning from others and joining a community to exchange ideas, make connections, and further the unsung role of the movie reviewer.
