“I had the good fortune to work with Timothy when he was producing and directing a feature documentary, Chasing Einstein, in which I was one of the main on-screen subjects. Timothy and the rest of the crew followed me and other scientists around in various capacities for a few years in support of the film. From my perspective, the film turned out excellent, and was shown at multiple major film festivals around the world. As a filmmaker and storyteller myself, I was constantly impressed with Timothy's abilities to tell an interesting visual story, craft a gripping narrative out of real-life events, and handle complex and changing production conditions, and as a particle physicist I was very pleased with his skills in making complicated scientific concepts accessible to a non-specialist audience. Additionally, he's simply a great guy to work with, positive, inventive, imaginative, collaborative, and open to new ideas. I can highly recommend Timothy, without reservation.”
