Soft Focus a movie zine

About

We are a print zine publication looking to foster a community where people can share their love for movies through writing and art. We are interested in the process of sharing ideas through tangible means and creating a physical object that can be held, shared, lost, found, framed, ripped, etc.
We hope to create an accessible space that is enjoyable for folks with all different levels of filmic knowledge and experience. Whether you only watch films made in the 1930s or love to preach about rom coms, we want to hear from you!
