About Hannah Strong

Hi! I am the Digital Editor at Little White Lies magazine and a freelance writer focussing mainly on film, television, and pop culture.

My love of film began when I saw Chicken Run at the Sheffield Showroom when I was eight. It was a transformative experience. Teenage subscriptions to NME, Vanity Fair, ELLE and Empire fuelled my love of pop culture and print media.

My primary focus as a writer is on film and television, but I’m a pop culture obsessive who spends a lot of time on the weirdest corners of the internet. Neopets, Livejournal, Tumblr, Twitter – I’ve lived through it all, and have the niche meme knowledge to show it.

I also write about mental health, neurodiversity and disability (subjects I have first-hand experience with), books, the internet, art, video games, and cats. I really like writing about cats.

I have written for The Guardian, BBC, GQ, Vulture, i-D, Gawker, The Times, Port and Hyperallergic among many others, and I am a regular contributor to Picturehouse Recommends magazine.

In my role at Little White Lies, I run LWLies.com, commissioning all digital content, managing our podcast Truth & Movies, and create graphics for the website too. I also write film reviews, features, festival coverage, and have interviewed filmmakers and actors including Paul Thomas Anderson, Yorgos Lanthimos, Luca Guadagnino, Emma Stone, Dev Patel and Daniel Craig.

In my free time, I love to swim, bake, find London’s best ice cream shops, do karaoke and make Simpsons-themed rugs.

I’m originally from a working class family in Sheffield, but now live in London with my cat, Margot. I love to travel and have attended film festivals and events around the world including Sundance, Toronto, New York, Cannes, Berlin, Karlovy Vary, Tampere, Paris, Reykjavík, Tallinn, Tokyo and Marrakech. I have previously served on the Sutherland Jury at the London Film Festival in 2021 and on the Leeds Film Festival Jury in 2022.
