Geeky Brummie is a Birmingham-based multi-media collective which produces a variety of monthly content, from podcasts and vodcasts to blogs, articles, reviews and events which blend a celebration and analysis of geek culture with all things Birmingham.
The Team
Ryan, aka Geeky Brummie, is a polygeek. A fan of comics, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, movies, TV, gaming and gadgetry; if it’s something geeky, Ryan’s probably had a nose around it at some point. When not geek-wrangling, he eats way too much food and previously blogged under the name of Brummie Gourmand…
…Oh, and he once interviewed Bill Gates.
Follow Keith
Keith is Geeky Brummie’s sidekick, all-round geek and comics expert. He loves to talk about TV, comics, movies, toys and music. Childish but in a good way, Keith dreams of being a comic book writer and artist, a film director and astronaut but perhaps not all at the same time. Keith also has an additional cinematography credit in a film that appeared on Netflix.

Mat Lovell
Follow Mat
Mat’s our e-Sports expert, who’s big on video games, board games and films.
He follows e-sports, mostly around the Dota 2 scene, and is a big advocate of supporting careers in the video game industry. He’s eerily good at the music round in pub quizzes and was once “that guy” who played drums in a school indie band.
Sam Edwards
Follow Sam
Sam has an MA in film and television that he has entirely failed to put to any practical use (yet) and can almost always find something positive to say about a movie.
When he’s not at the cinema, he enjoys board games, food, painting, and making needlessly complicated Halloween costumes.
Laura

Laura is an award-winning blogger who was once called “geek adjacent” by an ex-boyfriend.
A big fan of films, Laura has turned going to the cinema into an endurance sport and can often be found plotting how to fit as many movie screenings into one day as possible. You can find more about Laura at ConstantlyCurious.co.uk or her food blog FulltotheBrum.co.uk

Hi all, you probably won’t have heard of Envisage International Film Festival yet as we are new. But we are showing the festival at Millennium Point next January, so it would be great if you could help us get the word out. X
