When Everyone Became A Critic

Mackenna Massey is a senior at Anderson University majoring in Communications with a concentration in Public Relations. Passionate about film and storytelling, Mackenna is an avid movie lover who enjoys exploring a wide range of genres, including horror, comedy, science fiction, action, and thrillers. She often engages with film not just as entertainment, but as a way to connect with others and share opinions about what makes a movie memorable. I met Mackenna through our shared experiences as communication students at Anderson University, where conversations about movies, media, and storytelling often come up both inside and outside the classroom. Her enthusiasm for film and her openness to discussing different perspectives on movies make her a great voice for conversations about how audiences experience film today. Mackenna’s love for movies and her willingness to engage in discussion about genres, preferences, and viewing habits creates a unique intersection where personal taste, digital culture, and film appreciation come together. Her perspective reflects the way many students interact with movies in today’s media-driven world, making her an ideal guest for The Digital Screening Room.
