I am Shawn Anthony Levy, author, critic, poet, soccer fan, Burner, Portlander.
I write books and articles, mostly about movies and popular culture, and poems.
I DO NOT MAKE MOVIES.
The fellow who made (deep breath) Stranger Things, Deadpool and Wolverine, Real Steel, The Night at the Museum movies, and so forth is Shawn Adam Levy, a director and producer originally from Montreal, now resident in the Los Angeles area.
We’re not the same dude. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CONTACT HIM.
But the confusion between us and our not-too-dissimilar professions is so common and profound that an entire story in The Hollywood Reporter once spelled it out.
You can read that here.
And please don’t ask me to cast you in something, read your script, or send your regard to the Stranger Things kids.
I AM NOT THAT GUY.
