Upbringing in a Midwestern environment featured a strong focus on sports, movies, and the arts. Cortlyn Kelly recalls family movie nights and the influence of grandparents on her tastes. Her first vivid movie memory, watching 'The Incredibles,' highlights her messy eating habits. The realization of human creativity in filmmaking came when she watched 'La La Land' alone at 18, marking a significant moment of personal connection to cinema.
Growing up, I was one of the spoiled kids who had the privilege of having a television in my room, and we always had a movie playing on our family TV, too.
The movie was still phenomenal, and unfortunately, to this day, I am still quite a messy eater.
While they wouldn't quite refer to themselves as cinephiles, my maternal grandparents are very into the movies.
'La La Land' was the first movie I ever saw alone in theaters. I was 18 years old...
My upbringing was always quite Midwestern: lots of cheese, lots of 'opes,' and very sports-centric.
