About Matt Watkins

I have been writing for MovieWeb since 2021 and am definately not Genrephobic when it comes down to my taste in movies.

I obtained my first degree in Media Writing from Greenwich University where I was able to engage in all facets of the writing process including writing, critiquing, editing and revising, allowing me to maximise my effectiveness as a writer and reader of media messages. In relation to the course, I spent some time writing as an intern for music and lifestyle magazine Guestlist. 

I also have a Masters degree in Marketing and have worked several PR jobs where writing duties included creating press releases, quotes and byline-articles with a strong emphasis on attention to detail, time management, organisation and communication with the wider team and clients. I have experience in pitching and have secured and written articles for specialist publications like ITPro and TechCrunch as well as top tier nationals like The Times ‘Sunday Technology’ supplement.
