Interview
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I have a trusty MacBook and have used a variety of writing software and content management systems to date.
What's your favorite social network?
It would have to be the David Fincher-penned movie from 2010. I wonder what happened to the guy it was based on?
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I am most proud of my set visit to Aardman Animations, as well as being the exclusive writer to debut Code of Silence's US trailer.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Try and write about what you love, and don't be afraid to venture into new areas — You once didn't love what you do now.
What's your favorite drink?
The sweet nectar of whiskey.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
I am an avid fan of football (or soccer to American friends), and love to head out for a drink with some friends and catch a match.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
When it comes to film and TV, I love reading the work of other Collider writers. So, for this question, I would answer with The Athletic.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
Not quite an answer to the question, but there is a strange misconception that critics are a different species of audience.
