Oliver Barnfield , Cool Guy/Entertainment Editor

Oliver is a Canyon Echoes veteran who currently works as Entertainment Editor, and he also directs and stars in The Opinionist, Canyon Echoes 1st video series. He enjoys composing and listening to all genres of music. He prides himself in knowing all sorts of useless facts with no application in everyday life, that continuously roll around in his movie addled brain. He enjoys writing and drawing comics, occasionally with his friends. He likes Stephen King, John Carpenter, and Adventure Time, as well as old video games. He writes almost exclusively about the movies and games that he is obsessed with, and occasionally appears on the announcements. You may know him as the “hilly hilly hilarious” kid.
