The basic cinephile team
ZIANNA WESTON
FOUNDER & FILM CRITIC
Zianna is the basic b*tch that started it all! She has an irrational fear of new movies and shows and prefers to watch her comfort faves on repeat. These include What We Do in the Shadows, Superstore, Superstar, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Little Miss Sunshine, and Monsters Inc. She’s a critic for The CherryPicks and the Online Association of Female Film Critics.
EDELIA WESTON
FILM CRITIC
Edelia is the first critic to join the team at The Basic Cinephile. Probably because she’s Zianna’s sister and roommate. What can we say? We love a nepobaby. Edelia will watch anything. Literally anything. Bonus points if it’s cheesy and stars Cole Sprouse. She’s a critic for The CherryPicks.
TANYA DJAVADZADEH
FILM CRITIC
Tanya is a Houston based photographer and digital marketer. She’s unapologetically obsessed with Timothée Chalamet, minions, and the moon. Be sure to check out her Instagram!
