Jonathon Sharp

Jonathon Sharp is a web producer and blogger at WCCO.COM. He started as a New Media intern at the station in 2010.

After he graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in print journalism, Jonathon joined the web team again as a web producer in February of 2011.

When he is not editing and/or writing articles, Jonathon writes for the movie blog and sometimes interviews directors with whom he is nearly too impressed to speak.

Aside from cinema, Jonathon enjoys video games, the music of Omar Rodriguez Lopez, rock climbing and poetry — think Garcia Lorca and James Wright.

Jonathon also has a huge crush on Carl Sagan.

Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 3: ‘After Lucia’

After Lucia is an ultra-stylized Mexican film about loss and suffering, stoicism and shame. It’s a sober look into the reality of teenage bullying — cellphones, I swear, are weapons — and what can happen when victims feel they’ve no shoulder to lean on.
