Katie Doyle
“Hey, just a massive nerd for movies and especially sci-fi as I enjoy a good existential crisis leaving the cinema. I have great a great adoration for the classics as I’m a bit pretentious (silent and black & white for the win).”
Sophie Grant
“A psychology graduate with a crazy range of interests. I’m a massive book lover and I’m always overjoyed (and terrified) when I find out one of my favourites is about to hit the big screen. I won’t lie, I’m horribly picky when it comes to book to film adaptions. But hey, you’ll learn to love it!”
Elizabeth Howlett
“Film and journalism graduate with a flair for psychoanalysing your childhood films and uncovering devastating truths. Sit me down with fantasy, horror, action adventure and anything from the 80s, and I will be happy. Failing that, anything with dinosaurs or sharks eating people.”
Francesca Amalie Militello
“It was love at first sight between me and the great Charles Chaplin (through the medium of my tv, of course) but thanks to him I have been drawn to the wonderful world of films from a young age. I’m particularly passionate about British and German cinema, and I’m a sucker for a good old war film.”
Rebecca Seghini
“Film and media graduate, Disney obsessed, Sci-Fi and Fantasy nerd and I love a good musical. I consider The Wizard of Oz to be the greatest movie of all time. I am also a massive Lord of the Rings, Batman and Star Wars fan girl. Basically, I will give pretty much anything a watch. My life goals are to one day have Disney perfect hair and to cover myself in movie related tattoos.”
Joseph Wade
“A Film & TV Masters Graduate who specialised in film auteurism, I hold two degrees and a lifetime of close analysis as credentials for my role as the editor of thefilmagazine.com. My specialist subject on a quiz show would be directors, though my general taste ranges from the likes of Terrence Malick and the cinema of poetry all the way through to ‘Star Wars’. Current favourites include: Charlie Chaplin, Greta Gerwig and Denis Villeneuve.”

James Cullen
“Butcher, baker, candlestick maker, tinker, tailor, soldier, spy.”
Esther Doyle
“When it comes to films I like a little bit of everything. I’m just as likely to be excited about the latest comedy chick flick coming out as I am to be getting hyped up over Xavier Dolan’s newest Independent film. My favourite films are the ones that can get me to cry, whether it be from sadness or laughter – this isn’t hard to achieve, as I cried five minutes into Star Trek (2009).”
Catherine Giggal
“Media Studies graduate, coffee enthusiast, an avid watcher of comedy film and television.”
Jack Gooding
“I’m a Film and Media graduate with a passion for films, but when I’m not watching films you will probably find me in the gym.”
Michelle Kohnen
“My aim is to bring more attention to foreign language films; particularly those from the Netherlands.”
Kat Lawson
“Film & Media Studies graduate with a passion for horrors, psychological thrillers, European cinema, and pretty much anything a little bit weird. Lover of Rush, Cars and most films motor racing related. I want to star in my own Princess movie looking like Kat Dennings, with Princess Anastasia’s wardrobe, Rapunzel’s hair, Mulan’s kick ass-ness and a sidekick trio of Pascal, Bartok and Mushu, and maybe Crikee Bug too. Prince Charming optional.”
Abigail Travers
“I’m not a film and media graduate but I have loved films my whole life, since watching Disney over and over again when I was young. Now I love sci-fi & fantasy above all else, I will enjoy every film by Christopher Nolan, and if a film doesn’t pass the bechdel test there’ll be hell on.”
