Future Projects
Caleb is currently working on his first book, "The New Storytellers: How Independent Cinema is Reshaping Narrative," which will examine the dynamic influence of independent films on contemporary film storytelling. In addition, he is working on a podcast that will discuss influential movies and their cultural impact in great detail. Caleb's ultimate goal is to make academic-level film criticism available to general audiences to foster a greater respect for cinema's artistry and evolution.
