About Kyle Turner
Kyle Turner has had a love for the magic of film in his blood since he was five. Since then, he has created his own film blog, moviescene.wordpress.com, become a short filmmaker, composed a research essay for his high school on film noir, and written for VeryAware.com as news contributor and think piece enthusiast. He'll be covering various aspects of cinema in essays, probably from the perspective of a pretentious teenager. You can follow Kyle on Twitter at @tylekurner.

Jul 10, 2015 Kyle Turner 0

What if, after the fairy tale is finished, star crossed love isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be? That’s what The Fantasticks blithely asks of its young romantic leads, Jean Louisa Kelly and Joey […]
