Brian Bowe
journalist
I'm a Dublin native, word wrangler and B-movie boffin. Over the last several years I've built a career in a variety of film production roles while freelancing as a culture journalist, with bylines including Sight & Sound International Film Magazine and Little White Lies. Coming from a freelance background, I relish the chance to hang up my spurs and grow within an outlet as well loved as NewsFour. I hope to contribute to the team by promoting our community's thriving arts scene, film industry and lifestyle trends.
