At the beginning of 2016, I found out that every year, filmmaker Steven Soderbergh makes a list of everything he watched, read, and listened to that year. So, I decided to do the same…partly as an experiment to see if I could keep up with updating a list every day. Turns out I could! Mine is slightly varied in that I tracked TV, film, games, and books. I listen to too much music to write it all down! It might be slightly embarrassing to reveal just how much I watched this year…..yes, often to put off writing or for pure escapism. However, I did write 4 screenplays this year. Chump change to some, but for me that was a lot.
So here it is, my 2016 year of media consumption if anyone cares. A lot of binge-watching new shows, and re-watching old, as well as reading more non-fiction than previous years:
