Gennifer Hutchison
I don’t think about Point of View as explicitly as I probably should when writing or reading/watching things. It’s more of an instinctual thing for me writing-wise. But I found the POV shifts and choices in Empire of Light to be so jarring and unfocused, concerning both the characters and the filmmaker himself. Just a confounding movie overall, though the performances are great.
Tom Brooke was a standout for me, really showing how charisma is about energy and not about stature or appearance.

(This isn’t to say I don’t think about it in my writing. I do, but it’s more a natural feel for me in most circumstances. It’s automatic.)

I think of POV a lot when I'm writing, maybe because I write comics as well as TV. I do NOT, however, think about it a lot when reading/watching. Now I feel like I should.
