Erstwhile Projectionist

The title of the blog also pays homage to a newspaper column I wrote as an undergraduate. I wrote movie reviews under the title "The Projectionist," because at the time I had a work-study position as the projectionist for the film studies class in which I was enrolled. I discovered that being the projectionist of a movie gives you a different view point on it, than as an audience member. I thought briefly about about using the same title, but I realized it would not be appropriate, since I am no longer a projectionist, but simply an audience member---and a collector of ticket stubs, of course.
