Michael Brakemeyer

A serious cinephile that always enjoys discovering new and interesting talent the world over. I have not, nor ever will work in the cinema world...those directorial dreams crashed after college! During that tenure I had made a few short films and written several scripts which will be handed down to my children and will never be released to the public! Upon first viewing "2001: A Space Odyssey", when I was of the age of fourteen, Kubrick galvinized me into the thought process that film can indeed be art and opened up a whole new world for me. A critic I will never be, but instead a champion of the undervalued and overlooked films of the past millenium.
