Feels from Reels is a spoiler-free film review series, where I capture only the emotions I felt and thoughts that came from them, while viewing a movie. This helps me consider the emotional connection an audience has to characters and stories in my own screenplays and short or long-form writing. I hope you enjoy! ❤️
