Charles Rivington is one of Frost’s newest writers but has built up a fan base quickly, thanks to his witty and knowledgeable film writing. “A grumpy old man at 22, Charles Rivington loves cinema almost as much as he loves complaining about it. Never short of an opinion (whether you asked or not) he is more than happy to inform you that you are wrong, that your favourite film is terrible and then explain, at length, the reasons why. He can also often be seen at social gatherings harassing people he has just met to agree to watch films they know they’ll hate and have no intention of watching. Although his critiques do occasionally veer into snobbery, he claims he will watch pretty much anything and actually has secret fondness for genre movies (particularly good westerns and bad horror movies). Whilst film is his greatest passion he also has a keen interest in theatre, literature and music and occasionally strays into writing about these areas, with varying degrees of success. He lists his heroes as Roger Ebert, Woody Allen and Statler and Waldorf. He feels uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person.

Stefan Pejic
Stefan Pejic (aka DONOVAN) – “Columnist”
DONOVAN usually does his rounds on the Swansea comedy circuit, but they didn’t want him anymore (something to do with moral?!) so they sent him to us. In his own words “He is Welsh, warped, dry and harsh!”
DONOVAN’s alter ego is Stefan Pejic who is a fairly normal personality he created out of desperation. Stefan is part of sketch group, Le 122 and is also an Actor.
Now concentrating on his writing, Stefan has turned his hand to screenplays and short stories and feels he has finally found his niche. Though he’s still yet to grow up.
