Everybody's A Critic!

​ Ever walked out of a movie and immediately started debating whether it was good or not? You’ve already taken your first step as a film critic. 

​In this interactive session, Mike Ward, founder of the Seattle Film Critics Society and longtime film reviewer, shares how he built a career in film criticism, what makes a review work, and how anyone can develop a voice in the conversation around movies. Through personal insights, anecdotes, and interactive film clips, you’ll step into the role of a critic, perhaps see films in a whole new way, and maybe even be inspired to start writing your own reviews.
