You may call him Timmy, Timothy, Tim-o-tay (if you're French), or Doug. Never Tim. He grew up in an artists' building in New York City listening to his parents’ favorite music: showtunes and French classics. But everybody knows he loves rap and hip-hop. His birthday is December 27, so he’s a Capricorn, if you read into that sort of thing. We talk about his films, his interviews, and anything that pops up on his Instagram. We’d love to interview him sometime.
