Hi there. I'm Richard Brunton, and I love films. That's why we're here, to talk about films and for me to bring you the relevant news as well as articles and discussion on all film industries and all that's connected.
I'm a guy from Edinburgh, Scotland. I've written throughout my life in various guises, and only began blogging on the 19th September 2004 over at my own weblog.
Soon after that I started writing for a mainstream movie site with my first story on the 15th of October 2004, entitled The A-Team gets a writer and we still haven't seen that movie as of writing this! I stayed there for some two years and, for reasons we shall not discuss, left on the 6th of February 2006.
Now, here I am writing on Filmstalker. I started this site for a reason, well for a number of reasons, and to uphold a number of ideals and rules, all of which you can see over at the Manifesto. This is a list of what I think the site should be, and how it should and shouldn't grow. Simply put, it's a site to engage you, the reader, in discussion about film.
During the first year of running the site Filmstalker has been nominated and shortlisted for the Brit Blog Awards 2007, and also nominated for the Bloggers Choice Awards 2007. The reviews have resulted in a trailer mention on Air Guitar Nation, poster quotes across New Zealand and Australia and newspaper adverts in Scotland for The Flying Scotsman. The site has also been quoted by many other film sites all the way up to the BBC, NY Post, Time and Guardian, as well as being mentioned in print in the Guardian newspaper.
A regular attendee at the Edinburgh and Glasgow Film Festivals as well as the excellent Dead by Dawn Horror Film Festival, the latest highlight has come as Orange invited me to live blog from the 2009 BAFTA red carpet event. A stunning moment for Filmstalker
I really do hope you enjoy reading the articles and reviews and that you decide to come back and join the regular readers. Feel free to make suggestions on the site, and please do get into the discussions, you are the ones who make this site and all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.
