About The Site…

This site will by and large be a hub for various musings on cinematic history and theory on topics such as; Westerns, Silent Cinema, World Cinema, etc.

About Me…

My name is Mario Martin and I’m a filmmaker/historian/theorist. My passion for cinema has continuously evolved through the years, and I often spend my free time contextualizing or talking about cinema in its various forms. I’m always learning and growing and my interests constantly change, but my deep passion for cinema led me to creating this site.
