I’m Bea, a rising senior from LA, and the Film & TV Editor for Nectarine the Zine. I love watching movies and TV (obviously) and writing about them! Besides film, I also love painting, even if I’m not great at it, and music! I’m an only child, which a lot of people tell me “makes sense for me”, and I have a dog named Cookie who’s very sweet, even if she is a little dumb. You can find me at @miller.heard on instagram. I’m super excited to be working on this zine with everyone else on the team!

About Me: I love all types of music, I used to play the viola and I still believe it’s a beautiful instrument, I want to learn how to play again. I like art that expresses beauty of the human body because our bodies are too often sexualized and looked at as something to be ashamed of. I’m a BLM activist and feminist :)

Hi, I am Stuti Ghosh, from India.
I am an average 23 years old who prefers living in her "mind palace" where I am often roaming around in a long, dark flowy dress, dreaming of fictional men fro novels.
I wish to live in a 1800s architectured house with as many dogs and cats as possible in near future;
and I love tending to plants and going for long solo walks while enjoy listening to violins in general. Drinking wine during a thunderstorms is a favourite way to kill time. Thats when I get my best ideas for articles.
Ofcourse, I am occupied by virtual media as well, and I watch crime shows, mythological fantasies and anime, a lot.
Prefer dancing to walking, because walking is too boring. I am the go to clown in my group, you could say I am the "Chandler".
​
Favourite Movies: Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, The Karate Kid (starring Hillary Swank) and Your Name.
I am a very bubbly, outgoing and vibrant personality and I always bring a good laugh in every situation. I always try my best to make people happy and although I can be clumsy and silly sometimes, I always try my best to get along with people. I am very creative and I like to express that through either poetry, writing short stories or playing my guitar. I try to compose my own music on there too. Other than that I like spending time with my 2 sphynx cats and my friends who are always there for me.
