Meet The Geek Vibes Nation Team!

MISSION STATEMENT:

To connect all walks of life through news and entertainment. We strive to create an empowered community defined by acceptance and positive vibes only!

Geek Vibes Nation was born from a desire to create a community rooted in individuality and self-empowerment. We all have our own interests, giddy obsessions, and fandoms – and our goal is to provide you with the latest news in movies, TV, gaming, comics, and more. We have opinion pieces to spark and inspire conversations, podcasts on everything from the “Top 10 TV Shows Cancelled Too Soon“ to dissecting a new Netflix series, and interviews with writers, actors/actresses, cinematographers, voice artists, and directors.

We embrace diversity and welcome everyone to find their home at GVN. One where the constraints of everyday life fall away and you feel completely in your element. While we made a promise to always stay true to ourselves, we refuse to stay put. We want to disrupt the industry, spark (friendly) debates, and exceed limits, all while holding true to our core values.

So, what are you waiting for? Come join the Nation.

Cainan is also big into technology and video games. From the classic NES to the PS4, Cainan has played them all.

Tia

Head writer for Geek Vibes Nation and Host of Top 10.

A fangirl with too many obsessions to count. While wanting to become a well-known novelist, I stumbled upon the career of journalism. Paired with my love for everything and anything nerdy, I found a way to do something that I enjoy that allows me to connect with other super-fans. I’ve consecutively written leisurely for almost 14 years and will continue to do so until I can’t anymore!

He has since turned that passion into a professional pursuit, contributing reviews, features, and interview features for the film and entertainment sites Next Best Picture, InSession Film, Screensphere, and of course, Geek Vibes Nation, among other publications. Will tends to spend the later months of each year editing an annual video countdown of the year’s 25 best films, and can likely be found on the center-left side of his local cinema.

Devin McGrath-Conwell

M.N. Miller

“M.N. Miller is a film and television critic and a proud member of the Las Vegas Film Critic Society, Critics Choice Association, and a Tomato meter approved. However, he still puts on his pants one leg at a time, and that’s when he usually stumbles over. When not writing, he patiently waits for the next Pearl Jam album and chooses to pass the time by scratching his wife’s back on Sunday afternoons while she watches endless reruns of California Dreams. He was proclaimed the smartest reviewer alive by actor Jason Isaacs but chose to ignore his obvious sarcasm.”
