Me, I'm Steve Head. I co-created the movie news website IGN Filmforce, which is now IGN movies, and that's where much of my writing goes. There, we essentially live and breathe news and interviews. From 1997 to 2000 I was co-editor of TheForce.net - your daily Star Wars news. I've also written for The Boston Phoenix. I do marketing promotions for The Brattle Theater (http://brattlefilm.org) here in Cambridge, MA. And I'm Editor in Chief of the Boston publication Beanywood.com.
