Please note that I do not review films, music, etc. based on emailed requests from artists involved with the making of the project in question (e.g. actors who are in it, the director or producer of the film, a member of the band).  I will generally just delete such emails straight away. Thank you for your understanding.

I have also dabbled in broadcast journalism with various podcast co-host and guest stints, including collaborations with The Curzon Film Podcast, The Cinematologists, Mousterpiece Cinema, Sordid Cinema, and the They Shot Pictures podcast.
