Fran Chico is a film and series expert, specializing in cultural dissemination and film criticism. He is a recognized critic on Rotten Tomatoes and Filmaffinity. While his favorite genre is horror, so does the new Marvel MCU blockbuster and an arthouse film to stake its claim on the festival circuit. There is no series from Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+ that escapes their radar, which delves into the catalog of each platform to recommend and analyze the best content. Fran has been writing for Fotogramas for more than a year, but her beginnings date back almost two decades in film forums and blogs like Planeta Claqueta or Moviementarios. He was a founder and member of the board of directors of the digital publication of film criticism and analysis, Mutations Magazine, and a member of the Association of Film Informants of Spain (AICE), the organization that awards the Feroz Awards, as well as a voter for the Golden Blogos for independent cinema.
