Feels From Reels: Obsession
A Spoiler-free Film Review Series
Feels from Reels is a spoiler-free film review series, where I capture only the emotions I felt and thoughts that came from them, after viewing a movie. This kind of reflection helps me consider the emotional connection an audience has to my own characters and stories in screenplay. I hope you enjoy! <3
