Originally from the South Jersey area, Valerie A. Higgs is a Washington, D.C.-based pianist & Music Director. Website here!

​

Valerie has loved movies her entire life, and the first movies that made a huge impression on her at a young age are Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, and Lawrence of Arabia.  She is a big fan of Turner Classic Movies, movie musicals (Fred and Gene in particular), foreign films, Westerns, and interestingly, horror movies.

​

You would have thought she would have come up with the idea of watching all of the movies on the AFI and BFI greatest of all-time lists during the COVID-19 Quarantine, but since she was a child, she has always wanted to do a countdown that would eventually end with Citizen Kane.  

​

Each season, Valerie will watch films from the AFI and BFI Greatest Films of All Time and create an episode about the latest movie she watched.  She is not a film student nor in the film industry.  All opinions are her own.
