Tim Conway is a freelance vidiograpger. A freelance vidiographer is someone who works for themselves, by making movies. Tim is also a Film Maker, he makes local films, and hires all local people to work on the films that he makes. Tim started to be interested in film making when he was about ten years old. He was inspired by watching horror movies and thinking that the actors were really cool, and knew he wanted to do something cool like they did. When he was ten years of age he made his first movie called, "The Grave Master." He shot the movie using a super 8 film camera. When he got older he started working on make-up for movies that he didn't make. He worked on all of the bloody and gory make-up affects. Tim has written and directed about twenty local productions, and overall had made about thirty movies. His first movie, besides "The Grave Master" was called, "Pig." It is about a small town police officer. Tim is hoping that his movie, "Pig" will be coming out on DVD soon. At this time, Tim is working on a movie called "June Nine." It is going to be a horror film, Tim enjoys making horror films. It is the first movie he has made entirely by himself, meaning he directed it and produced it. Right now the movie is in postproduction, post production is the period following filming or taping in which a motion picture or television show is readied for public presentation.

Tim Conway went to Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Cuyahoga Falls. While he was attending I.H.M, the principal was Sister Miriam, but it later changed to Sister Helen. The Pastor, while he attended, was Father Rathfon. Tim remembers his favorite teacher being Miss Jaroszewski. Tim’s favorite subject in school was English. When Tim was at I.H.M he played two sports, basketball and football, even though he did not like either of the two very much. Tim remembers his funniest moment at I.H.M being when he was in sixth grade. He had a basketball game, but he didn't want to play because he didn't like it very much, so he pretended that he didn't have his uniform. His coach wanted him to play and found him a uniform that was way too big and made him play wearing it; he also had to play in dress shoes. Tim was really embarrassed. After I.H.M Tim attended Saint Vincent St. Mary's High School for a full four years. After going to St. V, the college he attended was the Art Institute of Pittsburg. Tim lived in Pittsburg for about eight years. In theses eight years he made some of his movies.

Mostly all of the things that Tim likes to do involve something about movies. He has a very large collection of movies. Although he has many, many movies he thinks his favorite movie is "Taxi Driver," and his favorite movie director is Martin Scorsese, who directed “Taxi Driver,” and many other films including; “Goodfellas,” and “Gangs of New York.” Tim also like music, his favorite band is AC/DC, and his favorite song is "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep" by AC/DC. Tim does not have a favorite food, but enjoys any food with butter, cheese and fat, and his favorite restaurant is Macaroni Grill.
