Experience

Ever since high school, Giancarlo has written editorial and promotional content for various publications. He has not only reviewed poetry and short fiction (for Polyphony Lit and Helen) but also gotten his own poetry and short fiction published (in Star 82 Review and Corvus Review). He has also written blog posts for the F(r)iction Log, including a series of blurbs for little-known animated films from around the world. Since starting as a freelance feature writer at Looper, he has covered major releases such as "Avatar: The Way of Water" and "Loki." He has a particular affinity for sinking his teeth into confusing movies such as "Beau is Afraid" or "Jarhead" and explaining their endings.

Education

Giancarlo graduated from Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School and was awarded the English Department Award of Excellence. As part of his studies, he has taken specialized courses such as Web Design and AP English Language and Composition.
