There’s no place like home

Keira Footer February 26, 2025
I’m worried that something similar might happen when I return from college. Instead of feeling comfortable and relieved, I’ll feel unfamiliar and awkward, like I’m staying at a friend’s house for a week before I return to Boston. I’ve often heard sayings such as “home is where the heart is,” but how am I supposed to call this new place “home” without the proper time to love it?

REVIEW: Aesthetics meet ambition in viral Emerson student film Glory & Gore

Isabella Laikin December 8, 2024

This 44 minute short film transcends the expectations of a student project with the transformative power of women-led storytelling by its women-run crew.
