Kenton Hall – Writer; Reviews.

Kenton is a writer, director and actor – a triple threat !!!! In 2015 he produced his first feature length film A Dozen Summers using his own teenage daughters as the stars. As a lifelong fan of Doctor Who his film also features sixth Doctor Colin Baker as the narrator.

Ian McArdell – Writer; Reviews.Ian is a Broadcast Engineer who works in the technical side of television transmission. When not doing that, he spends far too much of his time dreaming about spaceships, spies and monsters. Raised in the 1970s, on a rich diet of BBC drama and comedy; he enjoys a good audio play and steadfastly refuses to choose a favourite Doctor.

Some of Ian’s film favourites include, Grosse Pointe Blank, Coneheads, Dogma and Star Wars (Han shot first!). TV wise, it’s Doctor Who (obviously), Firefly, Survivors, The Prisoner, The Sopranos and Mad Men. Books – the works of Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams and Paul Magrs.

Ruby Lawson – Writer; Reviews.

Ruby is going on to study English Literature in Bath Spa later this year and has a keen interest in writing and research projects, an interest of which lead her to writing for IndieMacUser in early 2023.

She throughly enjoys listening to Indie/Rock music and her favourite films include literary remakes like Sense and Sensibility and psychological thrillers such as Last night in Soho and The Menu.
