Meet Our Staff

Søren Hough is the editor-in-chief at Movie Fail. He has been podcasting since 2009 and writing film reviews since 2010. For the fall of 2012, he worked at Amherst Cinema as a volunteer educator in the See • Hear • Feel • Film program. That initiative channels the power of film as a medium to promote literacy and encourage collaborative storytelling in third grade students.

He also served as the assistant arts editor for film and television at The Massachusetts Daily Collegian. He has contributed to RogerEbert.com and ScottFeinberg.com, as well as to multiple academic publications in areas including bioethics, media representation, American history, and cancer biology. His writing portfolio can be found on his personal website.

In his spare time, he works as the Editor of Tides Global covering the latest discoveries in drug discovery. You met him at a  very strange time in his life.

Søren is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he studied Film and Microbiology. He completed his PhD in DNA repair at the University of Cambridge.

Timothy co-founded Movie Fail with Søren in 2009 back when it was just an after school podcast. When he’s not busy watching movies, you can find him biking around Hartford, running through the streets of DC in his yellow Pumas, or re-outlining the novel he’s been procrastinating on for the last 3 years. His friends think him a hipster, but he refuses to identify as such.

Tim is a graduate of American University where he earned degrees in International Relations and Economics.

Nathan writes and edits reviews and other articles for Movie Fail. He was the Arts & Living Editor at The Massachusetts Daily Collegian, where he previously served as Assistant Arts Editor for Film and Television. His work has appeared in Take Magazine, Slant Magazine, and elsewhere.

Nathan graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a certificate in film studies and a bachelor’s degree in English and creative writing.
