A former editor of millimeter, the magazine about the technology of making movies, I’ve written about movies for the World and Independent Film Page on About.com. the Kansas City Star and local site KCActive. I’m a guest critic on the independent, foreign and documentary review episodes of Steve Kraske's "Up to Date" on KCUR, the Kansas City NPR affiliate and a former member of the Kansas City Film Critics Circle.
