EMOTION FIRST.
What did it feel like? What followed you home? Why does it matter now?
KISS!
STILL THINKING
ABOUT IT.
TRANSMISSION 001 / LIVE
WHAT WE BELIEVE
WRITE THE CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENS IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER.
Static Kiss is an independent film + music publication for the restless and obsessed.
We care about craft, but criticism begins with the feeling: what lingered, what changed the temperature of the room, and why we’re still thinking about it.
FOUNDER / EDITOR
SOREN
NOWHERE, USASoren is the founder and editor of Static Kiss—an artist, lifelong cinephile, and music obsessive based in NOWHERE, USA.
He created Static Kiss to help keep film and music coverage alive, and to make space for criticism that cares as much about feeling as it does craft. Drawn to deep themes, striking images, and anything that makes being alive feel louder, he is usually still thinking about the smallest moment everyone else forgot a week ago.
ARGUMENT UNDERNEATH.
Style needs a point of view. Strong opinions need honest attention.
PERSONALITY THROUGHOUT.
Readable, sincere, funny when it earns the laugh—and never afraid to care.
STATIC KISS WILL NEVER SOUND LIKE
A PRESS RELEASE. A PLOT DATABASE. A SHOPPING GUIDE. A BRAND FORCING INTERNET SLANG SIX MONTHS TOO LATE.
THE FINAL TEST
Does this sound like a real person who cared enough to stay up and write it?
If yes, it sounds like Static Kiss.OPEN LINE
