Who writes Cut & Grain, and how

This address was once home to a different project. What lives here now carries over the topic, the market, the language and the links: the subject of film, the English readers it serves, and the working map of pages. It carries over nothing else. The former brand name is not reused, the former voice is not imitated, and no page here presents itself as the former owner or as a continuation of that work. Cut & Grain is unaffiliated with the former site in every way that matters, and it says so plainly rather than letting the resemblance do the talking.

What this site does

It explains film as a craft: the shot and the grain, the cut and the rhythm, the set and the festival, the screen and the sofa. It is written in plain English, for readers who want the real story behind each term, and it keeps an open corrections log: if a claim is wrong, it is fixed and noted.

How it is written

Each page starts from a definition, walks the subject in order, and links out to the pages that go deeper. The site keeps one voice throughout, and it is a new voice. When a page touches the history of this address, it treats that history as subject matter, not as an inheritance of identity.
