Curious About Me?

I'm Caitlin, and I'm the host of Her Head in Films. I am a passionate cinephile who has been delving into the personal and emotional power of cinema through my podcast since 2016. My mission is to connect with others and share a heartfelt and soulful perspective on films. In the process, I hope to inspire listeners to contemplate the impact of cinema on their own lives.

For me, films are a window into the human experience and a way to explore emotions, ideas, and stories that resonate deeply. Through my podcast, I celebrate the ways cinema can inspire, heal, and connect us. My podcast is about more than just films; it's about life, finding meaning, and being saved by the transformative power of storytelling.

This isn't just a film podcast. It's an intimate journey into how movies make us feel. While other reviewers might focus on technical analysis or plot summaries, I create a space for raw, honest conversations about how cinema mirrors our inner lives. My approach is uniquely personal.

Each episode weaves together thoughtful analysis with vulnerable reflection, probing those moments when a film captures something we've felt but struggled to express. Through sharing my own journey and emotional truths, I connect with listeners who understand that sometimes a movie can articulate what we ourselves cannot put into words.

This podcast is for anyone who has ever felt moved by a film and sensed there was something deeper beneath that feeling. In each episode, I attempt to put that feeling into words. I share my heart, my soul, and all of myself with the hope that someone else feels less alone in this vast world.
