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 ~

After film school, I started my career in New York City as a Production Assistant and editor. It was exciting to balance my time between production and being on set and post production and editing a project for months at a time. My first producing job was a music video for James Taylor. I moved to Los Angeles and produced music videos and commercials. Soon after, I found myself going to Nashville to produce country music videos for Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride. I have been nominated for 14 Academy Of Country Music Awards for Producer / Best Music Video and have won the award 5 times. In-between the music videos I would produce commercials for clients such as FORD, Tropicana Juice, Kraft Foods, Varilux, Kia, Jack Daniels and Blue Cross to name a few. ​ Always keeping busy, I moved into Television producing specials and long form DVD's for NBC, ABC and FOX. Some of these include: THE PASSION (FOX - Produced all of the pre tape segments), Olivia Newton John-Live from the Sydney Opera house (a Live 10 camera performance based DVD), WIND IN THE WIRE - Producer for a TV movie for ABC, Rascal Flats, Nothing Like This - (ABC) a behind the scenes look of the band creating a new album. Along with numerous promos for NBC/Universal, Fox and ABC. ​ I've even kept up my editing skills by cutting documentaries for Wings Over Wendy's, Pioneers of the Automobile and several commercials and web series. ​ My philosophy has always been to create a “team” atmosphere with my production crew. Growing up, i worked in the family run dry cleaners, where my dad taught me every aspect of the dry cleaning industry. I learned to deal with the public and manage employees. I have put this same type of experience into producing. Over the years I have learned details of all equipment and I try to stay current with the latest trends in everything from cameras to lighting styles. I have made it a point to learn as much as I can from every department on a movie set or in post production. This comes in handy when budgeting and dealing with problems that arise during production. Because of my experience, I am able to aid in decisions and even think outside the box to come up with solutions to a problem. My background producing commercials, promos, documentaries, music videos and multi-camera shows has taught me that there are many creative solutions to the problems that arise in production.
