Meet Our Staff

Søren 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. SHFF 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 both RogerEbert.com and ScottFeinberg.com. His writing portfolio can be found here.

In his spare time/day job, he works in Shoreditch, London, as a science writer covering the latest in CRISPR research. You met him at a very strange time in his life.

Søren is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he received a certificate in Film Studies and a bachelor's degree in Microbiology.

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 is the Arts & Living Editor at The Massachusetts Daily Collegian, where he previously served as Assistant Arts Editor for Film and Television. His work spans music, poetry and many kinds of prose. He does not know much about riding bicycles.

Nathan studies English, Creative Writing, and Film at the University of Massachusetts.

Hailey is a graduate of Rider University with a degree in Digital Media and Cinema Studies.
