Off the clock, I'm deep in a series, lost in a film, or yelling at Arsenal.

I'm also into gaming and cycling, and I listen to a lot of gospel and Afrobeats. It's how I recharge, and more often than not it gives me ideas I bring back to the screen.

I used to run TheCinemaRadar, a movie blog where I shared reviews, analysis and recommendations. I'm rebuilding it now.
