Connor Sheppard is an Oregon-grown culture writer for The Manual. Intrigued from a young age by pop culture and movies, he has developed into an experienced critic and consumer of all things media. From his time earning a bachelor's degree in digital communications at Oregon State University, he found a love for writing and sharing thoughts about specific actors and directors in the many films he watches. When he's not working at one of his other jobs in Germany at an organic farm or as an online English teacher, you can find him watching a new film or taking every opportunity to travel and discover the world.
