About Me

WELCOME!!!! You have reached the page of Craig The Movie/Music Geek! You should have run away when you had the chance, but since you're here --- why not stay awhile? A little about me: I am a writer, film critic, musician and filmmaker from Saskatoon. I am the Senior City Music Writer for Planet S Magazine, with my regular column covering the local music scene, as well as other urban features, and the "music theories" editorials. Though it doesn't really help my street cred, you can also find me as Craig The Movie Geek on C95, Rock 102 and CKOM, as well as on the CTV News @ Noon. Here on Myspace, I send out a weekly movie review bulletin. I work as a writer with Fahrenheit Films...making music videos, television commercials, show treatments and documentaries. We are currently making a documentary for Global Television on the issue of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada. I can also be heard as a member of the Saskatoon band "The Stars Like Dust". Just try and get away from me. You can't. ************************************************************ ************************************************ FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS FOR BANDS OR MOVIES TO COVER. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU --- AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS! THE MORE THE MERRIER! AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTISTS!!!
