Tymm Holloway was raised in California where his father's work in the film industry played a key role in fueling a passion for film including directing, producing, writing, and photography. Holloway attended New York's School of Visual Arts. "95 Never Looked So Good" was filmed in 2016 and was conceived as a celebration of the remarkable life of his  then 95 year old father.

"The opportunity to create this film has strengthened my relationship with my father who continues to display a youthful spirit. He taught me about the importance of family and maintaining a healthy lifestyle from a child. I felt the world should know how important family is to my Dad. Now, his advocating for inclusion of the B1 Band in the Smithsonian is worthy story telling from my vision to his words." - Tymm Holloway, Film Maker
