About Us
- Comprised of a group of talented entertainment journalists, Full Circle is an all-new pop culture brand that launched on March 11th, 2019. Our mission is to provide our audience with the highest-quality content, which includes around-the-clock news coverage, reviews, editorials, interviews, podcasts, and videos.
- Originally assembled to build a website for a notable pop culture outlet, the team at Full Circle Cinema ventured out on their own in an effort to bring the best possible coverage to a new audience. How our group differentiates from others is that we are more a family than a team of assembled parts.
