Author: Ela Bicera

Ela is film lover and an amateur writer. She spends every night watching films of any kind, engaging to film discussions on twitter, and looking for more films to watch the next day. She couldn’t answer the question “What is your favorite film?”, because like Tom Cruise said “It’s impossible, it’s an impossible question.” Feel free to follow her on Twitter: ElaLovesFilm | Letterboxd: embee_02
