Hi, welcome to my site, whoever you are. I generally write about whatever takes my fancy, although my specialty is definitely film review and analysis. I have a double major in Drama and Screen studies and I'll be bringing some discourse and depth into my reviews. Having spent some time in London checking out the theatre scene I'll also include some theatrical analysis and thoughts on the profession.

Speaking of London I'll probably be doing some travelogue pieces as well - as I'm English born, Australian raised and now residing in New Zealand. My other passions are music (playing and listening), swing dancing and amateur magic tricks. So expect the odd bit of history and occasional instruction.

I've contributed ocassional articles to 24/7 prayer, so there may be some mildly theological works up here from time to time, it's a bit of a mish mash.
