I’m Merritt, creator of Motion Picture Menu, a film studies graduate, media literacy advocate, and amateur chef.

A huge majority of my favorite moments in life revolve around two things: film and food. Film nourishes my soul, inspires me to be a better person, and is just plain entertaining. Food nourishes my body, inspires creativity, and provides the backdrop for great conversations and family togetherness.

However, we all know that there are two questions that plague any attempt to enjoy film and food. The first is “What should I make for dinner?” and the second is “What movie should I watch tonight?”

This blog can act as an answer to both of those questions! Search the site for menus that suggest both film and food, follow the blog for consistent inspiration, or email me for a personalized menu recommendation. Bon Appetit!
