Edgar, 16

You in three words: sleepless, music lover, video enthusiast

The last movie that inspired you (and why): "NOPE" - The latest movie by Jordan Peele tells the story of two siblings on a horse ranch in Hollywood, where co(s)mical events increase after their father's death. Like Peele's other two movies, this one convinces story-wise although in "NOPE" the story was a little more nested than in its predecessor. Just as in "Get out", Daniel Kaluuya delivers an outstanding performance, but Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun and Brandon Perea are also quite convincing. The story has, as we already know from Jordan Peele, a hidden aspect in the background, but for that, you have to watch the movie yourself!

If I am not watching a movie, I like to... create short films and bake

What do you wish for in the next few days? to strengthen my cutting abilities with Premiere Pro
