Biographie
A noted film critic, Debbie has been a published journalist for 36+ years, writing everything from hard news to public service announcements, travel pieces, celebrity interviews and profiles, book-theater-restaurant reviews, legal briefs, informational news stories, and for the past 20+ years, film reviews. She previously served as managing editor and author for "Trial Excellence", a national legal magazine, and is the author of the children's book, 'Narcissa Cooks the Kitchen'. An award-winning producer and writer, she spent years honing her skills in tv and film production starting in the early days of cable television and news broadcasting, then moving into episodic tv, feature films, PSA's and music videos, easily vacillating between the different formats and different job capacities, working on crews with then fellow novices and burgeoning directors/producers, among them, Roger Spottiswoode, Don Coscarelli and Stephen J. Cannell.
Combining her practical training and experience and love of film & television with her journalistic expertise and years of education, experience and personal connections in the television and film business, now in her capacity as a film critic Debbie brings unique and interesting perspectives to her film reviews and interviews. A member of the prestigious Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia, Debbie is one of the few film critics in the country to have worked in both the technical and creative ends of the tv and film industries. Her movie reviews are carried in over 140 print and entertainment sites worldwide with over 1 million weekly readers.
Still keeping active in the production end of film and tv, Debbie is a champion of independent film and filmmakers, and not only serves as a consultant to first-time and independent filmmakers but remains hands-on with production, most recently as Executive Producer of the award-winning web series, "Co-Op of the Damned" and the upcoming "Bunker".
