Timmy Lee
Timothy Lee is a writer and critic who has been passionate about film ever since his dad showed him Back to the Future on DVD. He published his first review when he was a student at the University of Chicago for his school newspaper, the Chicago Maroon. Since then, he has written for other publications like Polygon, Crunchyroll News, Geeks of Color, and his YouTube channel, "TimJongUn Productions." His dream is to eventually write about film (as well as other forms of art he loves like anime and TV) as a full-time career while also dabbling in fiction and screenwriting.
