Daniel Pateman has been a freelance writer since 2018 and writing for fun for much longer. He currently works across Future Plc brands like TechRadar, T3, Games Radar, and What Hi-Fi?, where he has produced detailed guides on the best streaming services and regularly writes How to Watch pieces informing our readers where to watch the hottest new films and TV shows.
He gained a first-class degree from Birkbeck in Humanities and Media in 2013, followed by an MA in Contemporary Literature and Culture, where he wrote about the uncanny depiction of environmental crisis in contemporary American film for his final year dissertation.
In addition to his work with Future, Daniel writes broadly on topics across the cultural spectrum, including photography, sculpture, painting, and film, the latter being the medium closest to his heart. He’s been published in Aesthetica, The Brooklyn Rail, and Eyeline magazine, interviewed various artists and has reviewed exhibitions within the UK and internationally. He’s also commissioned by curators and artists to help produce catalogue essays, press releases, and museum wall text.
Daniel runs on occasion, thinks about writing poetry, loves horror films, and is a lifelong advocate of David Bowie.
