about Jeffrey
Overstreet
JEFFREY OVERSTREET calls upon a decade of experience as a film reviewer and
columnist for his popular website lookingcloser.org.
Contributing a weekly column called "Film Forum" and frequent film reviews
at
ChristianityTodayMovies.com, Jeffrey's perspectives are also published in
magazines like Paste, Risen, and Seattle Pacific University’s
Response magazine. His essay on the future of filmmaking, "Through a
Screen Darkly," appeared in Image: A Journal of the Arts and Religion,
and was the foundation for his new book of the same title.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Jeffrey now lives in Shoreline, Washington, and
frequently speaks about the arts at Seattle Pacific University, in churches,
and on radio talk shows around the U.S. His film reviews were celebrated in
a front-page feature of The Seattle Times’ Sunday magazine (Pacific
Northwest), and his work has been noted in TIME Magazine.
In a recent blog entry at
The American Scene,
Ross Douthat, associate editor for The Atlantic Monthly, called Jeffrey
"America's sharpest Christian film critic...."
Jeffrey and his wife Anne, a poet, can be found writing in the coffee shops of
Shoreline, Washington.
His first novel, Auralia's Colors, is coming in late 2007. It is the
first of a new fantasy series - The Auralia Thread - coming from Waterbrook, a division of Random
House.
