Welcome to The Bull’s Eye

Welcome to The Bull’s Eye

Hi, I’m Eirik Bull. I'm a film critic, a Golden Globes voter, and after years of analyzing stories, I’m going back behind the camera to tell them myself.

My story started like many others: with the original Star Wars on VHS. While other kids wanted to be firefighters, I wanted to build worlds. That passion led me into a career as a film journalist, but after a year of profound personal changes, I realized it was time to close the circle. I'm returning to film school to focus on post-production and editing—the very grammar of cinematic storytelling.

The Bull’s Eye is my newsletter, but it’s also my journey. And I’m inviting you to join me.

What You'll Find Here

This is where my two worlds collide: the analytical eye of a critic and the hands-on passion of a filmmaker-in-training. Expect:

  • Analysis That Goes Deeper: My reviews and articles go beyond the surface. We'll explore filmmaker inspirations, hidden themes, and the storytelling choices that make a film tick—all delivered with a sharp, insightful, and often humorous perspective.

  • Conversations with Creators: Through the odd interview, we'll go behind the scenes with the actors, directors, and writers who shape the stories we love.

  • My Journey Back to Filmmaking: Follow along as I return to film school to become a creator myself, sharing the lessons, challenges, and discoveries along the way.
