When Julia first spotted a photo of me at the Tribeca Film Festival on Hinge, instead of saying "hello," or "how are you?," she said "Top Five Films Right Now!!"

I thought, "Okay — she knows how to talk to me."

After days of swapping film recommendations, we finally planned our first date at The Penny Farthing. I was so nervous that I walked right past Julia outside of the pub; Julia was so nervous that she could barely eat the grilled cheese she ordered. Still, I beamed at the stimulating back-and-forth conversation about cinema, in awe of Julia’s passion and knowledge. (It was this “movie talk” that also put Julia at ease). That night, I learned about the old 1930s “Pre-Code” films that she loved, and Julia began to understand my taste in horror, sci-fi, and foreign films as well.
