Christopher Lloyd was born and raised in Orlando, Fla., loving movies. During high school, he worked at the same cinema where he saw “Star Wars” as a boy. After transferring to several colleges, he set his sights on a career in film journalism. He received a B.F.A. in Cinema Studies at New York University, and a M.S. from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. He worked at several newspapers in Florida, at first covering politics but always finding a way to write regular movie reviews. In 2005, he was appointed entertainment editor at The Indianapolis Star, and later became an arts & entertainment reporter, always writing regular film reviews. In April 2008 he began reviewing movies on a freelance basis for a few client newspapers, chiefly the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. In May 2009, he partnered with Joe Shearer to launch TheFilmYap.com. Lloyd is currently a freelance journalist and blogger living in Indianapolis with his wife, Jean, son Joel and several critters.
