Hello and welcome! 

Impression Blend a YouTube channel and a blog, created by Marianna Neal, who is dedicated to exploring great storytelling in film, television series, and books. Marianna grew up in Kiev, Ukraine, discovering her love for film by means of an eclectic selection of Tarkovsky, sci-fi and horror classics, blockbusters of the 90s, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. After moving to Chicago in her late teens, she eventually began sharing her passion for cinema and literature online through blogging and social media, which ended up leading her to uploading her first YouTube video. Many reviews later, Marianna officially became a Rotten Tomatoes certified critic in 2018, and is determined to use her voice to help bring attention to films from around the world, highlighting human experiences of all backgrounds. She particularly enjoys helping her viewers and readers discover overlooked films, opening them up to amazing stories they may not have considered before.
