Everett
Co-Film Liaison
Hey, hi, hello! I’m Everett, a first-year MA student in the Cinema and Media Studies program. My lovely co-liaison and I are responsible for programming at the Norm Theatre, so if you have any questions, comments, or complaints, send an email our way. My taste skews toward the cult and eclectic; I strongly believe everyone needs to watch more “bad” movies. Araki and Waters are the two cinematic forefathers who birthed me from their kino wombs. If you’re reading this, watch The Doom Generation (2002).

Bex Finnegan
Junior Bookings
Hello… (evil chuckle)... it’s me… Mr. Evil!!!!!!!!! Just kidding #pranked! My name is Bex and I am the freaking Junior Bookings Manager 😜. I like long walks on the beach and almonds with my friends. My flavourite movie is porbablyyyy… American Psycho, Interstellar, or The Godfather! They are a bit niche, so please check them out and give them a chance. You can catch me #chilling at the magic fairy benches outside Hennings or sometimes being alone and afraid in the nest with a big ol’ peppermint tea from bluechip! The key to my heart is shrimp and grits. Looking for someone to take me fishing.
