Sadly Ambrose died in 2021, but we’ll try and keep this site live, that he cared so much about. Here’s what his colleagues at talkRADIO had to say about him<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My name is Ambrose Heron<\/strong> and I edit this website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It was set up in 2004 to cover films and has since become a hub for film related content, such as cinema and DVD releases, interviews and anything that took my interest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I am also a freelance writer and broadcaster based in the UK who mostly writes and broadcasts about film, although I have also worked as a radio producer for several years (see my LinkedIn profile<\/a> for the full CV).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition, you might have heard me discussing films on national radio stations such as\u00a0BBC Radio 2<\/a> (with\u00a0Zoe Ball<\/a>,\u00a0Richard Madeley<\/a>\u00a0and Lynn Parsons<\/a>),\u00a0BBC 6 Music<\/a> (with\u00a0Nemone<\/a>) and\u00a0TalkSPORT<\/a>\u00a0(Ian Collins<\/a> and various other shows including Hawksbee and Jacobs<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Other stations I’ve worked for on a local level are\u00a0BBC London<\/a>, BBC Solent<\/a>\u00a0(South Coast)\u00a0and City Beat FM<\/a>\u00a0(Belfast).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you want to hear me talking to actors (Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>, Emily Blunt<\/a>, Robert Pattinson<\/a>),\u00a0directors (Danny Boyle<\/a>, Alfonso Cuaron<\/a>,\u00a0Darren Aronofsky<\/a>, David Cronenberg<\/a> and Werner Herzog<\/a>) or cinematographers (Christopher Doyle<\/a>) then check out my extensive interview archive here:\u00a0www.filmdetail.com\/interviews<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition\u00a0I also produce an interview podcast<\/a> for this site (subscribe here<\/a>) and in the past\u00a0I’ve presented for\u00a0Creation Podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I’m also active on social media, mostly via Twitter<\/a>\u00a0(@filmdetail<\/strong>), but also have a presence on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0if you want to discuss films there instead of the comments section on the blog.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
