Hello!

My name is Betsy Melin. I am a movie lover living in Chicago. I am excited to share with you some of my work as I explore the film scene in Chicago and beyond.

I am a student studying journalism at Loyola University Chicago. In my pursuit of journalism I have discovered my passion for stories. Stories are important. They represent what brings society together and what has the potential to tear us apart. Filmmaking is an extension of storytelling. It gives creative people the ability to express themselves and tell the stories that are important to them. I think the most important function of movie making is allowing people to feel less alone. This is true for both audiences and creators. Throughout the semester I hope to fill this blog with discussions on the power of film from the perspective of content creators and consumers.
