About Diego Pineda Pacheco

Diego, a list writer for Collider, has been a devout storyteller his whole life. He has self-published a fantasy novel and a book of short stories, and is actively working on publishing his second novel.

A lifelong fan of watching movies and talking about them endlessly, he writes reviews and analyses on his Instagram page dedicated to cinema, and occasionally on his blog. His favorite movie is The Amazing Catfish and he'll passionately promote it (and Mexican cinema in general) to anyone who will listen.

Other interests of Diego's include reading fantasy and philosophy, gaming, roller coasters, and going down rabbit holes of whatever topic he's interested in at any given point. He's currently studying Media Studies in Vancouver, Canada, and he loves finding ways to introduce what he learns into his lists.
