Great stories have always fascinated me – until I eventually realized that movies and tv series resonate with me the most. I enjoy movies across a wide range of genres, regardless of when they were released. One thing is clear to me: you can never dive too deep into film. For me, the experience doesn’t end with the credits – whether that means reading about it, reflecting on it, listening to podcasts, watching video essays, or writing about it myself. That’s exactly what I get to do as an editor at KinoCheck. I’m responsible for news, reviews and originals.
