August Film Class: Romantic Comedy
Rom Coms make us catch feelings in all the best ways. Our obsession with romantic comedies goes beyond both romance and comedy because we love that mix of realism and Hollywood magic When so much media seems to be about trauma and the failures of society, engaging with a world in which love isn’t just a lifeline, but the center of human experience—that is joyful! Because if not for love, then what for?
Film Class is made possible by your continued financial support through the Cameo Cinema Foundation.
