The Film Guru

  Booksmart Poster with Kaitlyn Dever as Amy and Beanie Feldstein as Molly Towards the end of my senior year of high school, I found out about this film called  Booksmart  directed by Olivia Wilde. From the trailer alone I knew it was going to be great. But after watching it, I didn't think this film would impact me the way it did.   Booksmart  is about two studious best friends who are high school seniors that find out that the popular students in their class also got into top universities.

Priestly's harsh words and supercilious actions overshadowed the true villain in the movie, Nate, Andrea's unsupportive boyfriend.

       Hello, my name is Tiffany Franco, and I aspire to work in the entertainment industry creating both films and television shows. As a student currently taking production classes, it is important to understand the art of formatting a screenplay in addition to learning different methods of creating compelling stories. My blog,  The   Film Guru  will explore, commentate, and analyze the art of creating films and television shows.       Recently, I came across this  Tik Tok  about a girl asking her audience about specific tropes they can't overlook anymore in the entertainment industry. Knowing the  Tik Tok  algorithm, by liking just one of these videos meant I was in for an outpour of these duets or responses to the original question. After scrolling through 'my for you page' to feed my  Tik Tok  addiction, I was indeed correct! For the next few days, I have been reading comments, watching responses, and overall just absorbing the information; and reevaluating how scree
