My name is Austin Fisher, and I am a freelance writer, editor and academic. I have recently completed a PhD in Italian cinema at Royal Holloway, University of London, and am disseminating my research to the wider academic community using various media – including this one. Hopefully, you will find something of interest in these pages. My writing primarily deals with the Italian, or “Spaghetti” Western genre of the 1960s and 1970s.

I’ll get going on blog entries about film and the media in the near future. In the meantime, you can find out more about my academic research interests by clicking the links to the right, and you can follow me on Twitter here: http://twitter.com/austinjfisher
