The classic story of Romeo and Juliet is told through text messages, Spotify playlists, FaceTime conversations, YouTube videos, search engine results, Facebook DM’s, and Instagram stories. It seems like…

Indie Movie Review – The Devil’s Heist
I have a confession to make: I love the Devil. Okay, not the real Devil. But I love the way actors portray him in film.
