Fans of LarsenOnFilm‘s work long before the brand and website existed, Cultivate was stoked when the critic behind the column asked us to create his website. We like film, we like websites and we like Larsen’s witty reviews. It was a perfect fit.
Josh Larsen has written smart movie reviews for a variety of Chicago-area newspapers for over ten years, and he needed a central location online to make it easy for movie fans to search his archives. LarsenOnFilm.com now serves as a database for past reviews, a forum for engaging directly with a vastly expanded audience and a medium to publish his ongoing work.
Since we built the site, LarsenOnFilm.com has become a continual resource not only for Larsen but also for us–and we’re pretty sure it could become one for you too. The next time you feel like seeing a good movie–or avoiding a bad one–read about it first on LarsenOnFilm.
