Fly high, Class of 2022

Aditya Thiyag | The Chronicle Everyone’s heard of a coming-of-age story. A classic tale of a teenager transitioning into adulthood and finally realizing what to do with their lives while they overcome their inner conflict and climatically find themself as the credits roll on a film or the last page of a book or the closing track of an album.

Growing up is not a movie

Della Johnson | Editor-in-Chief I wrote my CommonApp essay about my baby blankets. I was hypervigilant and over-caffeinated, shivering in the middle of July. It was sparked by my sudden obsession with Spotify, my newfound ability to torture myself with hours of songs that reminded me of my childhood, whether I was raised on them or just the ideas they […]

Animated films tap into child-like innocence

Izzy Gaspar’raj | The Chronicle Simplicity, empowerment and happy endings. Those three reasons are why Disney movies are my absolute favorite type of video entertainment.

The poor prioritization of visuals in film

Aditya Thiyag | The Chronicle Film is a visual medium. It’s a phrase that I’ve heard before, but it’s something that I didn’t really understand until recently. Last week, I watched Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance and The Lighthouse – two wildly different films each with unreal performances, inventive screenplays, and compelling characters.
