About

The Film of my Life is an online literary journal that explores the imaginary or thought experiment that poses that very question: What would the film of your life be? The general expectation is for writers to answer this question, but not in the most obvious or linear manner. The gist is the visual and conceptual. If any segment of your life was converted to film, which part would it be? Which character would you be? Would you develop superpowers? Would you live out that temptation to be that bad guy? Are you noir? Are you art house?
