Genre Ward

My name is Nathan Jongewaard (say it JUNGA-ward). When I was in film school at CalArts, my classmates lovingly teased me for my love of genre films by nicknaming me “GenreWard.” Years later, I find myself studying film more than ever and collecting books, essays, notes and disks on topics of interest. I thought it would be useful to begin organizing myself a bit. The name signifies a place to ponder my interests in media, particularly film, and to begin publishing my thoughts and notes in an informal way. I do love genre films, but the title is more about place than topic.
