Hi everyone,
My name is Sarah Murphy (she/her) and I will be a senior this year at Stony Brook University. I’m majoring in English and minoring in Film and Screen Studies. I’m thinking about doing a masters program for English after I graduate, but I also want to take some time off to do some creative writing. My dream would be to one day write a fiction novel, or maybe a screenplay.
Over the summer I love to spend time with my dog Luna. She loves to go swimming so I will always take her to the beach to cool off on a hot day. My family is really into sailing so I’m out on our boat most days, but my favorite part is just to sit out there and read. My friends and I love to get dinner together and eat in the park in Northport Harbor while watching the sunset on the weekends too.
Some of my favorite TV shows include Grey’s Anatomy, Peaky Blinders, Gilmore Girls, and The Umbrella Academy. I love Marvel and Harry Potter too! I think one of my all time favorite movies has to be Dead Poets Society or Good Will Hunting. This past year I’ve really gotten into Broadway shows, and I’m going to try and see Moulin Rouge before the summer ends so crossing my fingers.
I took EGL 303 (Fanfiction) last summer with Professor Hautsch, so when I saw she was teaching another course I wanted to sign up. In the Fall of 2021 I took an introduction to film class (EGL 220) with Simone Brioni, and I think that helped me grow my interest in film even more. I really want to delve deeper into the different aspects of film and TV, so this class seemed like the perfect fit.

Hi Sarah,
It is great to see you again (and pictures of Luna 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺). And very glad to hear that you were also in Professor Brioni’s class. We will have a different focus in this class, but you’ll definitely be able to draw on what you learned in that class.
You’ll have to let us know if you end up getting to see Moulin Rouge! It is one of my favorite movies (I have lots of embracing memories of singing along to the soundtrack), but I haven’t yet seen the play. Please let us know what you think!
