Introducing, Film Flavor
Your friend Olivia Marsh started a delectable newsletter + you've been chosen as an early reader ;)
Hi everyone! Your friend Olivia here! You might be wondering why you’re receiving this email…
I’ve started a little newsletter entitled Film Flavor to chat about all things food and film, with a particular emphasis on food IN films. As a film-industry-survivor and constantly-hungry-human, the Film Flavor newsletter is a place to keep things light and fluffy, yet delicious, just like the bread I like to bake. Would you consider supporting this little newsletter by subscribing?
Full disclaimer: In order to send you this email, Substack may have already “subscribed” you to Film Flavor (my apologies.) So really, I’m writing to kindly ask you not to unsubscribe. 😬 Please keep reading before you run away!
Act One of Film Flavor
Astute readers will note I started Film Flavor as an Instagram account years ago, solely as a dumping ground for all of my film-and-television-related thoughts. Soon, I began posting about foods that appeared in films, and cross-posting on my Letterboxd. Today, partially because no one actually reads Instagram captions these days, I decided to bite the bullet and make Film Flavor a real, big kid newsletter for all things food, film, and flavorful.
What To Expect:
If you (stay) subscribe(d) to Film Flavor, you can expect:
Film reviews with a particular focus on food featured in said films
Weekly posts every Monday morning at 7AM.
Very occasional secondary posts on Friday mornings, during seasons when there’s a lot of movie news / good films coming out etc.
Occasional food-related reviews of television shows, limited series, and other forms of media
Occasional musings on news in the food on film world, such as film industry awards shows, premieres etc.
NEVER more than 2 emails a week. Usually you’ll get just 1. Free of course.
That’s the plan right now, but of course, if this newsletter ever hits 20 subscribers, we can all discuss what you’d like to see next. (To be clear: I WILL be your dancing monkey.)
Here are a few posts I already have up, if you’re curious:
If you click through to read any of the stories above, you can leave me a comment telling me how delightful / offensive / hilarious / idiotic these clippings are and I’ll adjust my future programming accordingly.

Here is a recent picture of me to prove I am Olivia, or Via, as the internet knows me. Thanks Rachel Walisko Photography, portrait and headshot extraordinaire!
