Hi, I’m Timothy and I look forward to connecting with you on Storyhunter! For 15+ years I’ve enjoyed working on films and television series on 7 continents as a producer and EMMY-nominated cinematographer for content seen on Al Jazeera, Discovery, Hulu, NYT, PBS, Netflix, Showtime, and VICE. I have deep experience working as a one-person band and overseeing crews, am a Part 107 Drone Pilot, PADI certified, a UC Berkeley-trained journalist, fluent in Spanish, and a Boat Captain. With my company Documenting Life Productions I am the director, producer, and cinematographer of 4 feature documentaries including 2 theatrically released Oscar qualifiers on themes including science and technology, the environment, and an especially meaningful film chronicling my Aunt Diana Nyad becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida. I am now consulting producer on NETFLIX’s forthcoming NYAD starring Annette Benning and Jodie Foster. EARLY INSPIRATION IN STORYTELLING As an adventurous kid, I would anxiously await visits from my Aunt Diana Nyad (yes, the famous swimmer!) to tell stories of sled riding at the Alaskan Iditarod or diving with whales in Patagonia while working as an on-air correspondent for ABC Wild World of Sports. Diana's experiences helped set my eyes on a future in storytelling and I spent my college summers working 80 hours/week as an NBC Production Assistant, plotting my post-college career in Hollywood. FROM UNDERGRAD TO GLOBAL ADVENTURER Destined for my own adventures, I finished undergrad in Barcelona, backpacked around Latin America and Asia, landed in war-torn Colombia volunteering for human rights orgs, and found a new drive to make a positive impact on the world. A Hollywood assistant job didn’t sound attractive anymore, yet work in Colombia wasn't paying the bills so I attended UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism to acquire real-world journalism training while working as an Assoc. Producer for the doc series PBS Frontline/World and as a summer reporting fellow at the Phnom Penh Post, Cambodia. After winning the best doc prize at Berkeley, I felt I was on the path to a meaningful career. LET'S CONNECT Outside of work, my fiancé, Lora, and I, have created our own paradise living aboard our boat in Marina del Rey, and we recently built out a Joshua Tree AirBnB. Our dog, Lina, loves it there. If you’re looking for world-class storytelling with a record of conceptualizing, pitching, writing, producing, directing, cinematography, audio, and distributing, then we should definitely talk. I love exploring complex subjects and making them easy and engaging for everyone to understand. Thanks for reading my story, Timothy Wheeler ~

I love creating content and telling stories. I can wear many hats. I come up with ideas, produce, shoot, write scripts, interview, edit and fly drones. I am strong and can handle a video stabilizer. There is always a cool story to tell, we just need to pay attention. I am extremely interested in climate change, human stories, travel, food and animal stories. I don't stop until I get the job done!

A Philadelphia native, David graduated from Fordham University in New York with a BA in Communication, later completing an MBA at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles. Recently, he has developed original program formats and scripts for streaming content. Birth of the Teen Series is a documentary with comedic elements written and produced for Shout! Factory TV. The six-part short-form program examines teen TV throughout the decades. Individually themed episodes play interstitially or together in sequence as a featurette. For Shout! Factory, David also developed an original special celebrating the classic The Carol Burnett Show. Early formative experiences provided David with a foundation in "broadcasting 101." One was developing and hosting a weekly show on 89.1 WYBF-FM, a Philadelphia area radio station. The Alternative Comedy Hour combined alternative rock with classic comedy recordings and originally produced content. Another was going undercover on a series of investigative reporting projects in Philadelphia with the team at WCAU-TV 10 (NBC) and Herb Denenberg, a leading consumer advocate and TV personality. However, David's first professional role in television began as a teen, performing for three seasons on Nickelodeon's classic sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete, which grew a worldwide audience. Behind the camera in Los Angeles, David gained vital knowledge on the producing teams of the unscripted series Celebrity Fit Club (VH1) and 99 Most Bizarre (TLC). Supporting casting director Allison Jones, he was assigned to scripted projects, including the Disney feature Sky High, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and NBC's The Office. As a marketing consultant for an Omnicom Group agency, David provided brand education for Samsung Electronics. He regularly traveled and exhibited products at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. David has an eclectic blend of improvisation training and credits his practical resourcefulness to having watched the original MacGyver religiously during childhood.
