Catherine Pearson
I am a freelance Film and Television Journalist with bylines at Den of Geek, Digital Spy, Little White Lies and Film Stories. I also write reviews and features for my site catherineonfilm.com. I have previously written for the The Times, the Picturehouse Cinemas blog, QX Magazine, UK Film Review and InSession Film and have appeared as a guest film critic on London Live's Friday night film show London Film Club (Freeview channel 8). Career highlights include meeting film critic Mark Kermode for an interview that won me a student award and writing a Den of Geek article about Wittertainment that was featured on Kermode and Mayo's Film Review on BBC Radio 5 Live. It was also a great pleasure to interview Claire Foy in Rome and walk the red carpet for the premiere of The Girl in the Spider's Web.
