Once a full time Book Artist, M. Leary is now a PhD candidate in New Testament Literature and Christian Origins at the University of Edinburgh, where he studies forms of literacy, book technology, and writing culture in 1st and 2nd century Mediterrean culture. M. Leary's cultural-criticism has appeared in Books and Culture, Metaphilm, Veritasse Magazine, and a number of academic journals mostly unrelated to film. He currently has a share in editing The Matthew's House Project Monthly.


Film-Think is simply an ongoing collection of film reviews and essays related to the vagaries of visual culture, as well as an archive of past published works, columns, and abstracts of papers delivered. Also scattered about are slow movements towards a theological appreciation of the arts and film criticism, many of which are seasoned by his preoccupation with both Advent and Junkspace.

I welcome any comments, criticisms, and questions: filmthink (at) gmail.com.
