Sorry ladies, hands off. Andrew is spoken for by a Spanish Oscar winner. With that distraction out of the way, Andrew definitely knows what he wants from almost all facets of life. With film, it’s originality. Show him something we’ve not seen before; just one thing. Chances are your film will get at least a pass. Whether it be a keyboard smashed across someone’s face, plastering the silver screen with broken keys and tooth roots to spell obscenities for the audience or the meticulously pulled back layers of intrigue in a slow burn thriller or drama, show him this and you will succeed. RowThree is the opportunity that gives this Minneapolis native a voice to the world both in his lazily but coherently written reviews and op/eds or a running strong podcast of three years that proclaim I am Mr. Right. Yes my friends, when you see Andrew walk down the street, listen closely. You’ll hear the murmurs of passerby as they quietly mumble to their friends, “there goes Andrew James. See the mini notebook in his back pocket? Yeah, he never uses it!”

Jandy is a twenty-something film buff, music fan, internet addict, television nut, and gamer girl. That’s the overview, anyway. She’s drawn to classic, off-beat, and foreign film, but loves a good blockbuster action sequence, too. Hailing from the midwest originally, she now resides in Los Angeles. You know, for the great cost of living to be had there. Or not. At least there’s a great music scene and a lot of repertory cinemas. At one point, academia seemed in the cards, but now she’s left that world. Maybe for good, but who really knows? In any case, two years of an M.A. in literature have left their mark, for good or ill.

Most people think inside the box, some think outside, others still, will try and balance on the corrugated edge, but not Emma. With questionable motives and technique, she sets about tearing the box to bits; analyzing construction, materials, aesthetic and purpose, before reassembling the pieces to reveal the true nature of the thing…a fort. After a few minutes of waiting for her “Millions” to drop from the sky, boredom inevitably sets in and she is frolicking off to find bits of “strings… and other fancy stuff” to add the decor. A visual artist by training, she adores color, texture and intriguing imagery, but few “art pieces” adorn her interior. Hot for the Twin Cities music scene and everything Jack White, she keeps a penned lists of must see musicians on her table tops and on her walls: the It Might Get Loud movie poster, a framed Sept. ’05 copy of Rolling Stone Magazine, featuring The White Stripes and vinyl album jackets revealing the likes of Stevie Wonder and Neil Diamond…yes, “The Diamond”. He once said, “I’m not there to entertain you, we’re there to do something together.” Although a mantra for all of her creative endeavors, she is a musician at heart and like her aforementioned idols, aspires to invoke that visceral connection through sound. However, until the coordination of her limbs catches up with the desires of her heart and the sounds in her ears make sense with the ones in her head, she will have to be content to share her stories with her words.

“We’re all attempting to share something with another human being…that family of storytellers…you’re supposed to join the family, become part of it.”

Often said to have eclectic tastes, Marina enjoys a wide variety of films from the obscure to the mainstream. A Vancouver based writer, she enjoys the art of socializing about film almost as much as the films themselves. As a supporter of peace, she’s more likely to sit back and read through the fights than participate but she’s also not afraid to step up to the plate when necessary. She’s on an endless quest to discover great Canadian film and watch as many vampire films as she can.
Marina is also a “Twilight” fan and will defend the cultural phenomenon even though deep within,< she knows it’s not good.

Jonathan, who hails from the snow belt of the United States, is in constant pursuit of his fortune and glory. In the meantime, he graciously volunteers his genius to the internet, providing his insight on cinema and showering lessons of life to all of those that cross his path, being viewed by many as a modern-day Nietzsche. While you’ll often find his nose in a book, he loves fine beer and finer women – although his heart will always belong to the movies, which captured his imagination at an early age, opening his mind to the worlds of dashing adventurers, morally ambiguous gunfighters, and well-meaning space smugglers. Like every other college graduate schmuck out there, he claims to be a writer, and hopes to be a published author before he’s so old that using it to pick up women becomes irrelevant.

Blessed with parents who had no issue with their six-year old sitting through a VHS copy of Jaws, I was fortunate enough to inhale a wide range of popular cinema when I was both impressionable and easily traumatized. From The Wrath of Kahn to Out of Africa, at the cinema anything was fair game during family outings in the early 1980s. Assess the mental scar tissue caused from Quint’s chewed off lower body, mind altering ear-slugs (or for that matter, a bare chested Ricardo Montalban) and an endless Sydney Pollack epic on the therapist couch if you will, but the bottom line is: The video age corresponded with coming-of-age. For better or worse, everything I learned about life was rented on VHS or Beta for $1.99.
More recently, time is spent kicking around local film festivals (of which there are many), writing whenever possible, and traumatizing my own children with classic Kaiju films and off-beat animation.

Mike Rot is a Toronto-based writer who though monkish in his devotion to aesthetic contemplation, will rarely turn down a good scrap in the comment section. He eats film geeks for breakfast, and bemoans the culture that chooses to archive cinema rather than experience it. Though an agile master of war, he is but a kind warrior, who cries at a good movie and considers each film according to what it aspires to be. In search of the beatnik spontaneous prose and calibrated sperit, he populates the worlds of Akira Kurosawa and Terrence Malick. He had a thought a couple years ago, and one day hopes to write a screenplay.
