Essays

Every essay begins with a film that refuses to leave your mind.

Daughter’s Cut is dedicated to thoughtful writing about film, television, books, and the stories that shape us. Rather than reviewing what’s good or bad, these essays ask why certain moments stay with us long after the credits roll.

The first collection is currently in progress.

When it arrives, you’ll find essays exploring themes like:

  • Coming of age
  • Family and motherhood
  • Memory and nostalgia
  • Identity and belonging
  • Love, friendship, and growing up
  • The craft of filmmaking

Thank you for stopping by at the very beginning. I hope you’ll come back as this collection grows.
