It feels weird to blog. It feels weirder to write, in general. I’ve spent so much of my summer on sets or planning for sets that I just haven’t had the energy to be creative. That’s not exactly true, as a lot of my job as producer/production designer/actor/etc etc is creative problem solving, but still. It feels that way when I’m not writing. Continue reading “Focus”
The Brains behind “Brains”
I wear a lot of hats on my web series. I’m the creator, the writer, the lead actress, the head editor, and an executive producer. But I could not have done it (and I cannot continue to do it) alone, so today I wanted to give shout outs to all the other incredible and talented and hard working people who are helping me make my silly zombie show a reality.

The Brohort
Last week I was up for 37 straight hours and in that time worked two barista shifts on two separate days. I was going to philosophize about that and the nature of time and art and dedication to things, but it’s hard to concentrate on that when I just discovered I am the only woman in my new building and I could not be happier. We call the new place the Brohort because our graduate school class is called a “cohort” and we are all bros. Continue reading “The Brohort”
I saw a thing on Tumblr
…and was feeling narcissistic. So here we go, a serious of inane questions while I’m procrastinating working on homework. Continue reading “I saw a thing on Tumblr”
I <3 My Regulars
A couple weeks ago I posted a blog about how not to be hated by your barista, and in that blog I mentioned one of my favorite things about being a barista is my regular customers. The coffee shop I work at is in a predominately residential/office area, so about 85% of our customers are regulars, and some of those people are just the best. Today, I’m gonna talk about them more specifically, because of how grateful I am that in a sea of incompetency and rudeness, some of my regulars are just lovely. Continue reading “I <3 My Regulars”
Things and Stuff ep 8
Things and Stuff is BACK! This time, with more adult-ness. Sort of. Also a fancy pen. Enjoy!
2015 Resolutions
I’m a couple days late to the party as far as posting this goes, but my little brother was visiting and I had other things to do. I think at least once a month I’m going to check in via this blog about where I am with each of these goals, because I’m an adult and I need to start following through with stuff, especially in terms of my health.

Letter to Future Bri, 2014 edition
Dear Anita Sarkeesian,
[This letter has been updated since its original posting in 2013] I doubt you’ve heard of me, so let me take a moment to introduce myself. I’m Bri Castellini, a grad student in New York City studying Television Writing with a BA in Creative Writing from Pacific University in Oregon. I’m also recently coming into my own as a feminist. Last year I had a paper accepted into my undergraduate university’s undergrad magazine entitled “The Survival Sluts: Sex-Positive Characters in Margaret Atwood Novels”, which is exactly what it sounds like; analyzing Margaret Atwood’s dystopian female characters through the lens of third wave feminism. I have also started discussing the topic of feminism on YouTube, on both my personal and collaboration channels. You can see the playlist here. I’ve also been blogging a lot about feminism, which you can find a collection of here. Continue reading “Dear Anita Sarkeesian,”
