Live. Write. Create.

Welcome to what I’m watching, writing, building, and letting go.

I wanted one place where the different parts of my work could live together.

So this is the home base for what I’m watching, sharing, writing, building, and letting go.

I am a writer and producer living in New York City. I’m the founder of Victoria Bert Media, and most of what I do comes back to the same thing: stories.

The stories we watch.
The stories we write.
The stories we market.
The stories we build.
The stories we carry.
The stories we finally let go.

This Substack is the home base for my writing, reviews, reflections, and creative projects across culture, media, movies, TV, marketing, and storytelling.

Here, you will find a few different spaces.

Let’s Talk About It is where I write essays on life and culture, as well as reviews and reflections on film, television, marketing, and filmmaking.

The Watchers is where I share video reviews, podcast conversations, and thoughts on what we are watching, why it works, and why it stays with us.

The Release List™ is my reflection and writing practice about letting go, making room, and telling the truth on the page, inspired by my book, The Release List: Tools and Tales for Letting Go.

I will also share updates from the creative work I am building, including Killer Shot Films, the film company I co-founded, where we are developing commercial horror, suspense, and genre projects.

I love writing. I love stories. I love scripts. I love movies. I love television. I love the business of media. I love the way a movie, TV show, scene, a line, a performance, or a cultural moment can stay with you longer than expected.

I love marketing when it is lightning in a bottle and captures people’s attention.

That is what I want this space to hold.

Reviews. Essays. Notes. Reflections. Podcast updates. Project news. Things I am thinking about. Things I am excited about. Things I cannot stop watching, talking about, or trying to understand.

This is not one thing because I am not one thing.

It is a place to pay attention to the stories we live with.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Victoria
