Wayne's first experience with the big screen came in 1987 when he saw Masters of the Universe, a seminal moment which inspired his dedication to the motion picture. When not writing on and speaking about Cinema, Wayne indulges in his love of cheese...the edible kind, not Masters of the Universe.

Paul Farren
A regular writer/interviewer and podcast host for the legendary Film Ireland, he is also a facilitator and sometime writer/director with several shorts and a feature film under his belt. One of the highlights of his interviewing career was having tea with John Hurt. He remembers films he saw at the tender age of four but has trouble remembering peoples names unless they are fictional characters. He doesn't get out much.
