Hello there, I'm Kelly Carter, and if you're here, we'd probably have this one thing in

common.

A love and complete admiration for films.

You see, mine started when I was 10 years old.

I was a young girl who would fall in love with little shoppers.

Please stop laughing right now, because honestly, it was that feeling, that thrill, that enchanted

place where imagination runs wild, and characters come to life, and that's exactly why I became

a film critic.

But hopefully, like you, films are more than just entertainment.

They're things that document history, or show us how to love, and laugh, cry, and dream.

They look scary sometimes, and at their very best, films show us a beautiful spectrum,

a glimpse of what the world could be, or should be.

And those are just some of the things I talk about in this podcast.

It's called Close Up from ABC Audio, and I talk to some of this season's most dynamic

people entertainment about their own love of the craft.

People like Aaron Sorkin, director of Being the Ricardos.

For me, a screenplay isn't finished.

It's confiscated.

I keep writing until someone says Pencil's down.

After Corey Hawkins from The Tragedy of Macbeth.

I might have doubts, I might be nervous.

You can be nervous.
