David Bishop
My main interest is film and television. I studied the subject of film at college for two years and did a degree in Film and Television at Southampton Solent University, where I received a 2:1 upon completion.
This fascination with the subject started when I was seven years old, with my first trip to the cinema: a screening of Jurassic Park in 1993. I was hooked, both by the film and the experience of seeing something on the big screen. My interest in the subject and the desire to keep learning hasn't diminished in the slightest and I enjoy writing and debating about films just as much as I enjoy watching them.
At the moment I am writing for a couple of websites, http://blu-rayunlimited.com/, where I started writing reviews from March 2010 and http://flickeringmyth.blogspot.com/search/label/Movies%20for%20Free from April 2010, where I am writing cinema reviews.
