Scout shead

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 Esquire, Script magazine, and the Boston Phoenix. And from time to time I volunteer at the nonprofit Brattle Theater (http://brattlefilm.org) here in Cambridge, MA. I'm also Editor in Chief of the NewFilmNation.com.
