MaddWolf Pack:

Matt Weiner

He has a soft spot for comedies, an unhealthy (and expensive) obsession with the Criterion Collection and fervently believes that in the long run, every Coen Brothers movie is a documentary.

Brandon Thomas

Brandon works in Central Ohio’s prolific library industry.

When not worrying about circulation-related matters, Brandon is usually re-watching John Carpenter’s filmography for the 100th time or musing about Star Wars. He once tried to care about French new wave, but it didn’t stick. Brandon is also a Central Ohio Film Critics Association member.

Rachel Willis

Rachel Willis is a freelance writer living and working in Columbus, Ohio.

She has an MFA in Creative Writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Rachel has written for both Screenrelish and MaddWolf and is currently working on her first novel.

Christie Robb

Christie, an Ohio State University grad, is a freelance editor and writer who has also written for UK Film Review, Columbus Monthly Magazine, Drink Up Columbus, and ScreenRelish.

She’s currently polishing up a draft of her first novel—a comedy romance featuring the final girl from a horror movie scenario.
