David is a primary school teacher who tries his best to turn every math lesson into a discussion on the latest Pixar film. He loves movies so crap they’re good – hello anything starring Anna Faris – but his real passion is for superheroes, zombies and Studio Ghibli. His weekly feature Film School Friday will attempt to educate readers with all the useless advice that cinema has given us over the years. In between writing FSF, moving to South Korea and eating his body weight in Cadbury’s chocolate, he’ll also try to find time to contribute reviews for the latest films.
