Caleb's distinctive approach involves assessing films based on their artistic value, cultural context, and technical accomplishment. As part of his meticulous process, he views each film twice, once for the experience and once for more in-depth analysis. This approach has made him a respected figure in the world of film criticism.

Caleb has also taken specialized screenplay analysis classes.
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.
