Hi, I’m Nijah Chowdhury, a passionate blogger who loves to write about movies and series. I have always been fascinated by the power of storytelling, and movies and TV shows provide an excellent medium for it.
Growing up in Dhaka Bangladesh, I was a voracious reader and enjoyed exploring different genres of literature. As I got older, I discovered my love for movies and TV shows and began analyzing them more closely. I pursued my higher education in media studies and earned a degree in the field from the University of California, Los Angeles.
After completing my studies, I worked as a film critic for a local newspaper in Los Angeles, where I reviewed the latest movies and TV shows. It was during this time that I realized that I wanted to create my own platform where I could share my love for movies and series with a wider audience.
That’s when I started my blog, where I write about movies and series, analyze their plot, character development, cinematography, and overall impact on the audience. I cover a wide range of genres, from romantic comedies to action-packed thrillers, and everything in between. I also share my recommendations for must-watch movies and series that I think my readers will enjoy.
Apart from blogging, I love attending film festivals and events, traveling, and exploring new cultures. I believe that movies and TV shows have the power to connect people from different backgrounds and help us understand each other better.
