In this special episode, we celebrate the life, legacy, and lasting influence of our dear friend and colleague, TT Stern-Enzi.

From his sharp and compassionate voice in film criticism to his leadership as Artistic Director of the Over-the-Rhine Film Festival, TT dedicated his career to amplifying stories that mattered. He was more than a critic; he was a connector, a mentor, and a tireless advocate for film, community, and culture.

We reflect on:

His work as lead critic for Cincinnati CityBeat and Fox 19. His visionary leadership at the Over-the-Rhine Film Festival. His generosity as a colleague, father, and friend whose laughter and wisdom enriched every room he entered.

Personal memories of TT’s impact on the LightReel Film Festival and his frequent appearances on Keeping It Reel.

This episode is both a remembrance and a celebration of a life lived with purpose, passion, and heart. TT Stern-Enzi leaves behind a body of writing, programming, and inspiration that will continue to resonate with filmmakers, critics, and audiences for years to come.
