writer / blogger / author

Nell Kalter is the author of the novel  That Year and Student as well as being an award-winning teacher of Film and Media Studies.   She watches movies loaded with cinematic artistry and reality television programs chock full of morons. She lives on the North Shore of Long Island. And she will move to a square state somewhere in the midwest if Bravo launches a Real Housewives even closer to home because she needs a buffer from lunatics who have not a smidgen of self-awareness yet have a facialist on speed dial.
