Meet the Team

Robin Write

I make sure it's known the company's in business. I'd see that it had a certain panache. That's what I'm good at. Not the work, not the work... the presentation.

Carson Timar

I have been talking film online since 2015 and continue to explore the rich history of cinema. Love pretty much any Yasujirō Ozu or Timothée Chalamet project and can nearly quote Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again which I saw 9 times in theaters.

If he's not tweeting about the latest sports championship or finding ways so kids fall in love with Math, he's surely watching one of the many films from his infinite watch-list, or just re-watching Spirited Away for the hundredth time.
