About Me
CREATOR & HOST, FILMSPEAK / CONTRIBUTOR, THE PLAYLIST, AWARDSWATCH, AWARDSCIRCUIT

Hey! Thanks for checking out my site. My name is Griffin Schiller and I'm an LA-based Entertainment Journalist and Critic from Frederick, MD. A graduate of Purdue University with a B.S. in Computer Graphics Technology and Certificate in Entrepreneurship, I'm driven by my passion for and love of cinema that harkens back to the first time I saw George Lucas's masterpiece "The Phantom Menace" (I know sarcasm doesn't convey well in text, but just roll with it.)
My experiences working on award-winning short films such as Amends (2017) and Slayte (2016), and music videos for the bands Take Care and WVNDER have enriched my knowledge of the filmmaking process that I have applied to Entertainment Journalism and Film Criticism. I have contributed to outlets such as AwardsCircuit, AwardsWatch and host of The Playlist's The Fourth Wall Podcast where I have conducted interviews with the likes of Daniel Craig, Zack Snyder, Claire Foy, Pierce Brosnan, Keanu Reeves, Olivia Wilde, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Damien Chazelle (to name a few), reported on industry news, reviewed the latest Hollywood releases and provided film festival coverage. However, my passion for entertainment doesn't stop there, as I also run my own YouTube channel and publication, FilmSpeak, for which I put my background in video production to good use. For the past 5+ years, I have written, filmed, and edited weekly reviews, essays, podcasts, and other creative content that have sparked thoughtful conversations among a dedicated fanbase. I am a former member of the Hollywood Critics Association (HCA), a self-proclaimed Christopher Nolan fanboy and James Bond aficionado who obsesses over the latest fashion trends and can listen to Hans Zimmer on repeat for days. Feel free to check out my work below and don't hesitate to contact me and talk movies! |

FilmSpeak
CREATOR & HOST, FILMSPEAK
|
In July of 2015, a couple of friends and I launched Men vs. Movies; a YouTube Channel, website and brand dedicated to all things film and entertainment. What started out as a simple hobby quickly evolved into a legitimate career path providing me with access and opportunities I could've only dreamed of when first starting out. The publication has since become FilmSpeak where we like to say: the conversation continues after the credits.
On a weekly basis, I give my audience exclusive insight, analysis, and interviews behind the entertainment they love. FIlmSpeak is my passion project and I am consistently working hard to foster a community of dedicated film fans. Check out the FilmSpeak YouTube channel linked in the videos below! |
