Above the Line vs Below the Line. \u00a0\u00a0Episode 2 : Film Critic vs Film Critic<\/p>\n
Film Critic : Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/p>\n
Works as film critic and journalist who covers stories about culture and sustainability. With a degree in Political Sciences, a Master\u2019s in Screenwriting & Film Production, and studies at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, Chiara has been working in the press since 2003. Italian by blood, British by upbringing, fond of Japanese culture since the age of 7, once a New Yorker always a New Yorker, and an avid traveller, Chiara collaborates with international magazines and radio-television networks. She is also a visual artist, whose eco-works connect to her use of language: the title of each painting is inspired by the materials she upcycles on canvas. Her \u2018Material Puns\u2019 have so far been exhibited in four continents, across ten countries. She is a dedicated ARTivist, donating her works to the causes and humanitarians she supports, and is Professor of Phenomenology of Contemporary Arts at Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan.<\/p>\n
Film Critic : Matthew Schuchman<\/p>\n
In the early 90s, while at the video store with his friends who wanted to rent Don\u2019t Tell Mom The Babysitter\u2019s Dead, Matthew asked the clerk if they had any copies of Naked Lunch available. A film buff from an early age, he would turn his fascination into his own review site in 2010; Movie Review from Gene Shalit\u2019s Moustache. From there, he provided his voice to such publications as Den of Geek, Coming Soon, and Verbicide magazine as a film reviewer and talent interviewer.<\/p>\n
