My name is Valerie Higgs, a musician based in the Washington DC area. I am fulfilling a childhood promise (to myself) by watching films from the American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) Greatest Films of All Time lists, writing a brief synopsis and review, and posting a podcast episode about my thoughts.  Disclaimer: I'm not a film student or in the film industry in any way. All opinions are my own, for better or worse!
