Aaron Farrell

Aaron Farrell, a 34-year-old Welsh writer, began contributing to Ready Steady Cut in 2018, focusing on arthouse film criticism and essays exploring film history, language, and socio-political themes. A curious and dedicated individual passionate about philosophy, faith, and society, Aaron counts Alien, Blade Runner, The Thing, The Big Lebowski, Superbad, The Dark Knight, and Tarantino’s films as annual must-watches.

After working as a youth support worker, English teacher, and personal trainer, Aaron earned a First-Class degree in Creative and Professional Writing from Bangor University. He’s a versatile writer, serving as a film and theatre critic, culture columnist, travel writer, novelist, poet, magazine editor/founder (Cape Magazine), and publishing house editor/founder (Atomic Bohemian). He’s self-published a novel and poetry collection, contributed to various outlets, and is working on a second novel and poetry collection with themes of fatherhood and marriage.

Aaron writes travel pieces for Adventureinyou.com, film criticism for nation.cymru, and a culture column, Violent Expression, for V13.net.

His motto: “Has Pen, Will Write.” Unofficially: “Have Bills, Will Work.”
