Bianca Piazza
Staff WriterBianca Piazza is a film geek and New York-based writer who can't get enough of obscure horror movies, LGBTQ+ content, and really any indie flicks making noise on Twitter. When she’s not boring someone with her film knowledge, she’s likely boring someone with her 'RuPaul's Drag Race' knowledge. You can find her work in 'The Mary Sue,' 'Beyond Fashion Magazine,' and 'Film Daily,' to name a few publications. Give her a follow on Twitter where no one listens to her pop culture opinions.
