Articles by Michael Cook

During my stint at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, I majored in Film Studies and Art History. After returning home to Omaha, I decided to switch my major to Graphic Design and Communications, while still keeping Art History as a minor. Visual Composition has always been intriguing to me, so naturally my interest in film returned. While still working on my BA, I’ve been busy working on design projects and watching more movies than I care to admit. Recently I’ve been talking more and more about films with a colleague of mine, and after his insistence, I’ve come to write for Killer Film. Outside of work and school, I still try to have a life. I listen to an obnoxiously wide variety of music, but I’m a big aficionado of rockabilly music and the many derivatives there-of. I enjoy the company of friends while dragging them to concerts they wouldn’t normally attend. I’m also dropping all my disposable income into working on a ’51 Chevy truck that’s too adorable for words.
