Bridger Hopkins has lived in Grand Rapids, Minnesota his whole life. Bridger enjoys many of the North-woodsy activities like hunting and fishing and has dabbled in such activities as emu farming. Trying to break into the Northern pottery circles, Bridger spends time at the MacRostie Art Center in Grand Rapids trying to perfect the art making the “perfect mug” (which does not exist). Recently married, he is learning to juggle the demands of starting his own family, going to school for engineering, and finding out how to pay for it all. Once he gets his degree in mechanical engineering he hopes to get into real estate, obviously. For now, he’s taking it all one day at a time. He hopes to eventually make a trek down to the cities soon to buy some pottery glazes, and maybe grab a burrito or something as long as he’s there anyhow.

Jordan Keller : Film Reviews
I've been a huge lover of films and filmmaking for as long as I can remember. Throughout my younger years, I would obsessively watch any behind-the0scenes foorage I could get my hands on, just to see the process of how the movies were made. I would even shoot my own short films with friends and family as actors. Now that I am in college, I am studying film and animation, with aspirations of directing feature fi,ms someday. Film is an incredibly important part of my life, so when I was presented with oppurtunity to write film reviews for Out of the Woodwork, I jumped at the chance. As they say, write about what you know, and while that generally applies to fiction, I think it's still apt in this case. It also doesn't hurt that it gives me a good excues to spend more time at the movie theater!
