Hi.

Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.

Milwaukee Film Festival 2017: Like Cotton Twines, The Lost World, Roller Life

Milwaukee Film Festival 2017: Like Cotton Twines, The Lost World, Roller Life

By Andrea Thompson

If the theme of my previous day at the Milwaukee Film Festival was about division, day four is definitely about adventure, that very human desire to get to a place or state greater than yourself. Whether it’s a destination at the other end of the world or just across town, it’s about becoming more than you are now. Some of the people on-screen were successful. Others were not. But sometimes the point really is just the journey rather than the destination. Or maybe just striving for it.
