Soo Coming

I moved back from Portland, Oregon and needed a job. I had been going to the Broadway and Tower for years, usually on Sundays with my mom; as per our tradition.

What is your favorite aspect of working here?

There’s a lot of good: synergistic with school, free coffee, chic atmosphere. The best is the people. I look up to a lot of them and belonging to such a community is a privilege.

College, modeling, and exercise take up most of my time along with work so free time is hard to find.. but when I do I spend it with friends or thrift shopping.

What are your hopes for the future of SLFS?

I hope that the Salt Lake community recognizes the importance of independent and art films and furthers their support for SLFS. I’m really proud to work for this organization because we provide good service: we allow for an escape that also betters people, what could be better? I hope SLFS continues to strive and flourish with the help of the community.

What is your favorite movie and why?

BARRY LYNDON, because Kubrick is god and it’s one of the few movies that have made me cry.

Just kidding, it’s TRASH HUMPERS, for the hype!
