As a freelance film writer I find film festivals frustrating. I go to great efforts to seek out the more obscure edges of the festival programme rather than chase after the big names. However, publications often aren't interested when I pitch pieces on these more niche works.
Of course, there's nothing stopping me from self-publishing my thoughts on these films, but I believe I this labour deserves compensation, which is why I have set up this ko-fi page.
If anything I have written has been of value to you, please toss some coins my way.
