I love films as well as the whole process of filmmaking and entertainment, which is why I started Popcorn Pixel in 2018 with the aim to bring together cinema-enthusiasts like me. Besides films, I love to write fiction, try new cuisines and dream about learning skydiving and horse-riding (hopefully I'll get around to it someday) !!
