Feedback
“I have worked with Stephen Follows on more than 20 articles published in The Times since 2014 and consider him to be the highest calibre of film analyst. He is thorough, reliable, and pays attention to detail. He also has access to and understanding of substantial datasets that enable him to produce valuable insights and compelling stories.“
Jack Malvern, The Times
“Stephen has a great eye for the sorts of details that will immediately grab people’s attention – things you want to turn around and share with someone else straight away. He can quickly sift through oceans of statistics and forgotten films to find these things.“
