In April 2014, Edinburgh Evening News succumbed to my pleas and took me on as their new film columnist.
From events happening in and around the fine city of Edinburgh, to news pieces from around the world, I hope to develop a film column that represents the thriving world of film both locally and worldwide, with a new entry being published in print and online every Thursday.
It’s an amazing opportunity for me – one that I hope to fulfil to the best of my ability.
The links to every entry will be published below on a weekly basis.
