About Renaldo Matadeen

Renaldo is a Senior Writer at CBR.  He covers movies, TV, anime, comics and video games - from lists to features to reviews.

Industry Focus

As a filmmaker and scriptwriter, Renaldo loves to dissect the nuances of stories, especially narratives involving people of colour, minorities, and the socially-displaced. He believes art is a medium to reflect and provoke, and loves engaging in content that evokes this energy. 

Author Details

Renaldo initially started out as a Chemical Engineer, before transitioning into journalism. He now specializes in digital marketing, documentaries, advertising and copywriting. His commercial and corporate projects involve sports (namely with ESPN), entertainment (via Valnet) and food, arts and culture with his own studio in the Caribbean: Near Future Studios.

Favorite Media

Renaldo is a staunch advocate of "the geek shall inherit the Earth." If pressed for his favorites, he's a big fan of Naruto, Boruto, Star Wars, and most of the '90s and 2000s era of content.
