Hey — I’m Karina. I blog here now.

If you’ve happened across the Spout homepage over the past couple of weeks, you’ve seen my sexy, under-lit iSight self-portrait, but if you know nothing else about me, here’s a primer:

1. I grew up in Los Angeles and now live in Queens.
2. My favorite movie trilogy of all time is Back to the Future
3. I co-founded and used to edit the film blog Cinematical. I’ve also written for The Huffington Post, TV Squad, NewTeeVee and FILMMAKER Magazine.
4. I have a bad habit of using “punk rock” as an adjective.
5. Most of the time, I look less like that iSight shot, and more like this.

If you have questions, concerns, news tips, suggestions, complaints or just really need someone to listen to you rant about Sonic Youth producing a record for Starbucks, I’m here for you. You can email me at karina AT spout DOT com, or hit me up on AIM at karinalongworth.
