How to Improve Your Filmmaking
There are many ways to share your life experiences -you could post a picture on Instagram of a market in Thailand, or write a blog post about your favorite restaurants in Rome.Really, any form of communication can be used to share whatever you are passionate about.

Inside Out: An Emotional Disney-Pixar Experience
The time leading up to a brand new Disney movie is always an exciting one. I have to admit, I am often skeptical that the new release will make it up there alongside the classics I grew up with. Yet almost every time, Disney pulls through. This is especially the case with Pixar movies. The newest release, Inside Out, has proved itself as having earned its place among its brethren. Now no spoilers, I promise! I’ll just say that the film tells the story...

5 Best Coffeeshops in Kalamazoo
We recently moved to Kalamazoo, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the great local coffeeshops around! Some have more photos than others – I’ll have to rectify that situation.
Here are 5 of my favorites:
Located just on the eastern edge of downtown Kalamazoo, Black Owl is a hipster’s hangout. The décor is fun, the bathroom is a work of art, and the coffee, well, that’s a work of art, too. Lee, the barista that I’ve seen, is a mas...

The Magic of Possibility: Fling!
I recently read a novel that completely pulled me into the universe –and what a universe it is! Fling!, the new novel from writer and educator Lily Iona Mackenzie, is set in many countries. It’s at once a glimpse into new, interesting characters - and new, interesting worlds. It’s a saga that spans time, all at once. It’s color, and cold; light, and dark; memory, and forgetfulness; mothers, daughters, granddaughters; culture, and...

As the economy rebounds, business people have begun to travel again. A little more money to spare and a wider base of interested clients have sent business travelers back to the skies, making new connections all over the world.
