What’s on tap?

Welcome! Schlub Cinema is a love letter to the movies where everyone looks hungover. Where the lead actor has bags under their eyes. Where the bowling alley is the place for business. Where people will kill each other for less than fifty grand.

Schlub Cinema isn’t a genre, it’s a woozy feeling. A hazy, cigarette smelling notion that we’ll narrow in on with each monthly essay.

Who am I?

I’m a writer based in Northeast Wisconsin. Besides Schlub Cinema, you can find my work published in Peachfuzz Mag. I love schlubby movies, zines, TTRPGs, Elden Ring, and being a trans woman.
