Carson Burton
Carson Burton is a writer, entertainment fanatic, and a proud Crocs owner that loves everything from Mean Girls to 2001: A Space Odyssey. He is a recent graduate of Northwestern University, where he studied Journalism and Film and Media Studies. He will watch any sort of movie you put in front of him, and he can talk for hours upon hours about anything from Scooby-Doo to Sergei Eisenstein. Carson has loved film ever since he was a kid watching Austin Powers with his siblings at a far-too-young age, and his love for movies only continues to grow as he writes about entertainment for various online outlets. As an avid movie watcher and constant consumer of entertainment news, Carson hopes to learn more about the medium and grow as a critical voice.
