My name is Alaine.
I am currently a film graduate student and an aspiring filmmaker.
This blog was first dedicated for my papers in Film 270: Advanced Film Theory and Criticism (2020).
Now, it is dedicated for my Film 299 Research Updates (2021).
If you so randomly find yourself getting lost in this space, feel free to explore my thoughts. There’s plenty of room in this alienated world.
- Course: MA Media Studies (Film)
- Favorite book/novel: "Without Seeing the Dawn" by Stevan Javellana because it is a very disturbing and realistic depiction of the resilience of a Filipino.
- Favorite film: "Sophie's Choice", because of the marvelous storytelling and exemplary acting from the cast
- Favorite media practitioner: Julie Andrews because, as a child, she sparked my interest in both music and film and she continues to inspire me up to this day.
- Favorite song: "Blessings" by Laura Story because it is about maintaining one's strength and faith amidst difficulties
- Favorite internet site: Twitter (a social media platform where your thoughts, opinions, news, and overall freedom of speech are limited to 280 characters only)
- Hobbies: Singing, Traveling, Doing 3D puzzles
