My name is Karina Longworth. I have done the following things:

I currently edit SpoutBlog, a daily film culture blog attached to the movie lover social network, Spout.com. I also contribute a weekly segment to Spout's FilmCouch podcast.

In the past year and a half, my work has been written about in Variety three times, and in the New York Times twice. In a post on his NYT Carpetbagger blog, David Carr called me his "new online heart-throb." Or maybe his editor did.

I was the co-founder and the first editor in chief of Cinematical, a film blog which, back in the day, the Guardian UK called "witty" and "almost alarmingly up-to-date," and which is now owned by AOL. While I was editing Cinematical, nice things were said about us by, amongst others, Roger Ebert, The Hollywood Reporter, and GreenCine Daily.

I've published film and new media criticism and commentary in CINEASTE, FILMMAKER, The Huffington Post, NewTeeVee, Netscape, TV Squad, REVOLVER (yes, the heavy metal magazine) and the International Journal of Baudrillard Studies (I know, I was surprised, too.)

In 2009, I appeared in an ad campaign for Isaac Mizrahi's first collection for Liz Claiborne. You can see it here and read about it here.

I've spoken at and/or moderated panels at the following places: SXSW FIlm and Interactive Festivals, IFP/FILMMAKER Conference, SilverDocs, Starz Denver Film Festival, Evil City Film Festival, and New York University.

In April 2008, I participated in the New York Times and the Museum of the Moving Image's Institute in Film Criticism and Feature Writing. This got some interesting press.

Here is an interview with me about movies. Here is an interview with me about blogging. Here is an interview with me about glamour (I know, I was surprised, too.)

I have been on a couple of TV shows, including Attack of the Show! and Movies That Shook the World. I appeared briefly in a documentary on film criticism, directed by film critic Gerald Peary, called For the Love of Movies.

I have been on many web TV shows, including CNN Live, ReelerTV, Netscape at the Movies and a short-lived video podcast at Cinematical that managed to go by five or six different names in the three weeks we were doing it. That's how we rolled back then.

I have done many radio shows and podcasts. Some of my favorites were Studio 360 on NPR, The 404 on CNET, and the Nick Digilio Show on WGN.

I have sat on juries at the CineVegas, FantasticFest, SXSWClick and Denver film festivals, voted for the Cinema Eye Honors and consulted on nominees for the Independent Spirit Awards.

I have a Masters degree in Cinema Studies from New York University and a BFA in Film From the San Francisco Art Institute.

On a good day, I look like this. This is probably the best candid photo ever taken of me; most candid photos end up looking like this.
