Melissa Silvestri
Jersey City, New Jersey, United States
I am a big film nerd. My tastes run towards science fiction, action, horror, noir, B-movie goodness, stories about old people having adventures or falling in love, spy movies, arthouse movies, documentaries, and anthology films. I am a native New Yorker, and work in the archival field, and have an MLS in Archives. I love studying history, and enjoy writing about the arts.
