A Reader & A Cinephile (Something Missed): Dracula and 12 Angry Men

VideoReviews
Written By Nathan Box

Hey friends, welcome to another episode of A Reader & A Cinephile. This month, I want to try something new. As an avid lover of books and movies, I try to read and watch as much as possible. Despite a deep devotion to both of these mediums, it is still impossible for me to read every book published and watch every movie released into the wild. New and classic stories will slip my radar and go ignored. This, in what I hope becomes an ongoing series, is my opportunity to correct a book and a film I have overlooked. My hope for this series is two-fold. I hope to inspire you to give both of these stories a chance. And if you already love them, I hope you will join me in celebrating these stories.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
