Poetry: The Balcony by Kayleigh Hughes

October 14, 2016 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

The Balcony

He said it was my fault. What the hell was I doing, looking at him that way. With those eyes. What did I expect.   Oh, didn’t you know, This sort of thing is human nature. Uncontrollable—a growl in the stomach or saliva on the lips. The bloody burn of red cheeks.   What’s a […]

SXSW Film 2016 Day 3 Part 2- Accidental Courtesy and Don’t Think Twice

March 14, 2016 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

Don't Think Twice, Mike Birbiglia, Gillian Jacobs, SXSW, film

Movies are the best, you guys. Sunday was the strongest set of films we’ve seen at the festival so far, and the two we caught, documentary Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America and Mike Birbiglia’s feature Don’t Think Twice, provided excellent tonal and thematic variety. After seeing a handful of okay-but-not-life-changing documentaries, I went […]

SXSW Film 2016 Day 1 Pt. 2- Cameraperson and Beware the Slenderman

March 12, 2016 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

Cameraperson

As we all know, jumping into the Interactive portion of SXSW is the best possible way to get your festival bearings because, for a myriad of reasons, pretty much every official and unofficial event of Interactive is low-risk, high-reward. It doesn’t have the public caché of Music but it’s also way more social (interactive?) than […]

In Memory of David Bowie: 7 Artists Who Made Great Art in Their Final Days

January 18, 2016 By Kayleigh Hughes 1 Comment

David Bowie

Just over a week ago, we were celebrating the arrival of new David Bowie album Blackstar (on his birthday no less) and its accompanying music videos. Now, Bowie is no longer with us, having passed away on January 10, 2015. To the public, his death came as a devastating shock, as Bowie and those close […]

Nonfiction: Progeny in Crisis by Kayleigh Hughes

September 16, 2015 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

Progeny in Crisis

Early in my college career, I wrote a story about my mother and her cancer and I. People seemed to like it and I got an award and it was published and someone said I would receive one hundred dollars for being the winner, but I never got that check, which is a shame because […]

July 21, 2015 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

Big Significant Things

In writer and director Bryan Reisberg’s debut feature-length film Big Significant Things, successful twenty-six-year-old Craig, played by Game of Thrones’ Harry Lloyd–he was Viserys, of the golden crown–can’t bring himself to commit to the clear-cut future ahead of him.

Davina struggles to make […]

Hold It Lightly: How A Woman Like Me Uses the Creative Process to Explore Life’s Harder Questions

April 7, 2015 By Kayleigh Hughes 1 Comment

Alex Sichel, Elizabeth Giamatti, Lili Taylor, A Woman Like Me, 2015

There is quote from Yoko Ono that says, “art is a way of survival.” This is true in more ways than one. As an action, art helps you to survive. The act of making art is a way of choosing how you live. Going further, art as a noun, as the product of your action, […]
