About Sam Watermeier

http://www.thefilmyap.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ProfilePic.jpg If there were an AA-type program for film addicts, Sam Watermeier would have to be dragged to the meetings. He has been hooked on movies since he can remember. As a child, he lived at the magical, candy-colored multiplex, drooling over movies as if they were sacred writ. In junior high, Sam discovered the film writing of Roger Ebert and Owen Gleiberman. The brilliant way they, like film itself, related the particular to the universal inspired him to write about all-things-cinema. In high school, Sam became a film critic for the Carmel High School HiLite. After graduating, he sent his portfolio to NUVO Newsweekly just for kicks and giggles. He's been interning there ever since, writing film reviews and profiles of local filmmakers. Check out his work at www.nuvo.net. When he's not yapping away across the vast reaches of cyberspace, Sam is a student at Ball State University, majoring in Telecommunications. Sam's top ten favorite films are: "Hellraiser," "The Matrix," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," "Edward Scissorhands," "Fargo," "GoodFellas," "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," "Happiness," and "Scream."
