Brandon Streussnig

Film Journalist & Interviewer

United States

I'm a freelance culture writer with a passion for and emphasis on (but certainly not limited to!) action film. My work has been published in various online publications, such as Vulture, The Ringer, Inverse, GQ, Polygon, Paste Magazine, Fangoria, AwardsWatch and The Playlist.

With Vulture, I helped launch their now-annual Vulture Stunt Awards, celebrating the very best in Action Cinema and Stunts.

In addition to film writing, I've interviewed filmmakers, contributed to boutique Blu-ray labels by writing booklet essays, worked for film festivals, been a guest on many podcasts, and covered news as it's broken. My passion is interviewing and profiling. Nothing excites me more than talking to folks and getting to the heart of why they do what they do.
