Risa Bolash
Risa is 24 years young and has loved cinema for every last one of ‘em. She minored in Film Studies at NC State University and spent a year writing articles and quizzes about film and television for an online magazine called TV Tea. Her latest triumph was attending and walking the red carpet at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. When she’s not watching movies, you’ll find her sipping Twisted Tea near a body of water, donning pink and glitter whilst dancing to 2000s pop music, or editing her YouTube vlogs at a chic local coffee shop.
