Happy New Year, readers! It is with great humbleness that I extend a HUGE “THANK YOU!!” to anyone and everyone who in some way helped support me in this new adventure that is OneFilmFan.com. It has been a great sense of accomplishment to have FINALLY put feet to a dream I have of becoming a professional film reviewer, with a GRAND total of over 90+ movies viewed and reviewed here for your reference. The connections established in the industry this past year on top of the unexpected opportunities to speak directly with those involved in making and acting in film has been an exciting journey, and I look forward to what is to come!
So, with that said, it only seemed feasible to go ahead and list my personal top films of 2014, BUT, to do it in two separate posts, as I have more and more come to realize the value of the BOTH Mainstream AND Independent offerings.
