OUR STORY, OUR PURPOSE

OUR STORY, OUR PURPOSE

OUR ORIGIN STORY

The Film Dispatch began in 2009 as a humble blog by two cinephiles, Eleanor Vance and Marcus Thorne, who shared a common frustration: the lack of nuanced and accessible film criticism.

They envisioned a platform where deep analytical dives could coexist with passionate appreciation, fostering a community that valued both the intellectual and emotional impact of cinema.

From late-night debates over classic noirs to early morning premieres, their dedication slowly but surely built the foundation of what The Film Dispatch is today: a trusted source for film enthusiasts worldwide.

OUR MISSION & CORE VALUES

Our mission is to illuminate the world of cinema, making complex narratives understandable and fostering a deeper appreciation for film as an art form.

We strive to be the definitive voice for film enthusiasts, providing thoughtful analysis, diverse perspectives, and engaging content that enriches the cinematic experience.

We are committed to fostering a vibrant community where discussion thrives and diverse opinions are respected.

We champion independent voices and emerging talents, believing that every story deserves to be told and every film deserves a fair, insightful critique.

WHAT DRIVES US

PASSION FOR CINEMA
