What happens when a latchkey kid grows up to be a film professor? He’s forced to reconcile film form and theory with the cheesy films he loved growing up.

A Latchkey Kid’s Take on Modern Cinema is a collection of film essays by Travis C. Yates, most of which originally appeared as regular contributions to an entertainment website. The collection serves as a pop culture time capsule, laden with references to events taking place around the end of the 21st Century’s first decade. Yates blends cinema and current events to show us how film helps contextualize the world around us. It is a real-time account of a film scholar sharing his love of all types of films and attempting to find their appropriate place in the cinematic world.

The collection explores the work of more than 120 directors, examining both contemporary films and classics from the ‘70s and ‘80s, sprinkled with nuggets of wisdom shared with his film students. It is a fun, fresh perspective on modern cinema and a must-read for any cinephile! Yates is an Emmy-winning writer and film and media professor. He was raised on a concoction of Scorsese, Spielberg, and a copious amount of USA Up All Night.
