Sin-A-Rama

Tim Anderson's career in Entertainment Journalism began when he joined the staff of the Sarasota based music and culture monthly "The Fritz" in June of 1995. From that point until its untimely demise in the summer of 2000, Tim reviewed hundreds of CDs and dozens of films, ultimately leading to his position as Film Editor, which afforded the opportunity to travel to the premiere festivals in the world, including The 2000 Cannes Film Festival. That same year, Tim served on the jury of the inaugural Kissimmee Film Slam and sponsored, with The Fritz, The Central Florida Independent Film and Video Festival featuring an appearance by one of his cinematic idols, the late Russ Meyer.

Since that time, Tim has focused his writing for a range of print and web based organizations, contributing to Film Threat, as well as positions on staff at Bloody-Disgusting, FreezeDriedMovies, Severed-Cinema and The Hacker's Source. Tim still continues his coverage of film festivals having just returned in March 2007 from his third trip to the SXSW Film Festival and Conference. His quotes have been used frequently in advertising and box art and were recently featured in the theatrical trailer for Scott Glosserman's Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, the debut film from the newly formed Anchor Bay Entertainment. In addition, to his journalism work, Tim is authoring the book Sin-a-Rama: A Users Guide to Gore Girls and Shock Cinema.

Behind the lens, Tim got his start doing extra work in 1992 for the Mickey Mouse Club (MMC) and in several student shorts. He studied fine art in college alongside journalism, film theory, humanities and television production. In 2001, Tim worked for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on local coverage of Superbowl XXXV and MLB Spring Training and wrote coverage for New Regency Productions. In 2006 he co-financed and served as Executive Producer on Die and Let Live, the second feature from award-winning director Justin Channell, assisted running sound on the short film Cannibal Sisters for Gonzoriffic Films and made a brief cameo in the Central Florida production Bikini Zombie High School.

In 2007, Tim founded Sin-A-Rama Films—a motion picture production company based in Orlando, Florida—designed to foster local independent film production. Tim is most excited by the leaps forward that the Florida film scene has taken over the past 12-years and he hopes to see and help it grow into a true player in the world of national and international production.

Tim is an avowed pop culture junkie with literally thousands (and I mean thousands) of CDs DVDs and Books that typify his diverse interests in a broad range of subjects. He lives in Sanford, Florida with his wife, daughter, and their cat. And, he believes that there will never be another filmmaker as great as Polish auteur Krzysztof Kieslowski, but he dares you to try and prove him wrong.
