Greg Woods
A film enthusiast since his mid-teens, Greg Woods studied film, video and television at York University and Centennial College, and had worked behind the scenes in the TV commercial business for over twenty years.

In the meantime he started this website you now view. Whereas ESR is more specific in its content, Nostalgic Cinema is an ongoing journal of a lifetime of movie reviews and film culture.
