By Jennifer Smith | ReporterMaverick Moore, a lecturer in the department of film and digital media professor, is working on his own short film with the help of Baylor colleagues, students and friends called “My Dinner With Werner”. Moore describes the film as a ridiculously wild and wacky comedy short film about a 1987 dinner date with an unsuspecting murder plot as the main dish. This story is based on real people and events, and inspired by the turbulent relationship between German filmmaker Werner Herzog and German actor Klaus Kinski. Herzog and Kinski were both notorious for their conflicting and…

By Jennifer Smith | ReporterIn my lifetime I’ve lived in two states, Tennessee and Texas. I have an amazing father and two great brothers who were raised under southern standards. By “southern standards,” I’m referring to the values you can find in any old country song; raised in the church, taught to be polite and always expected to be a gentleman to women. And I respect that, I truly do. But as a 22-year-old woman, I’ve come to find out many men don’t know the fine line between being friendly and being too forward. Gestures such as holding the door…

By Jennifer Smith | ReporterI had become accustomed to mindlessly scrolling through my news feed while something I’ve seen five-thousand times plays on Netflix in the background. I fall into the trap that is the “continue watching,” category and find myself quoting whichever “Gossip Girl” or “Friends” episode I left off at.

By Jennifer Smith | Reporter Baylor Spanish Professor, Moisés Park has spent his time at Baylor encouraging students to incorporate art into their foreign language studies. As a multicultural and multilingual professor, he said he has found movies, songs and books help him learn foreign languages easier. To help further his student’s studies, he collaborated with them to write poems that would later be published in Park’s own Spanish poetry book, “Y el verso ce al aula.” Park grew up in Chile with his two Korean parents, and he said learning languages was inevitably part of his life. Park’s native…

By Jennifer Smith | ReporterI got my first dog at the age of five, when a neighbor dressed head-to-toe as Santa Claus toted in an adorable pure-bred chocolate lab. It didn’t take long for me and my three siblings to fall for her big brown puppy dog eyes and become major “dog people.” We owned two amazing and loyal chocolate labs while I was growing up, but I didn’t find the dog that changed my life until this past year. I had wanted to get my own dog for about a year and a half, so I started looking at…
