Tim Hamilton – DirectorTim had already introduced the world to the Barenaked Ladies with his videos for Lovers in A Dangerous Time and Enid, and House Hippos with his iconic commercial for Concerned Children's Advertisers when he directed and co-wrote Truth In Advertising, a scathing satire of the ad business. He was happy to see it become a huge viral video, before he knew what a viral video was. Then Hollywood beckoned, quite literally. Tim developed a pilot for HBO, based on Truth In Advertising, with Buck Henry as Showrunner. He was hired by Steve Martin to work on a strange sketch comedy show called the Downer Channel for NBC. This was followed by Mama’s Boy, a Warner Brothers feature starring Diane Keaton, Jeff Daniels, Anna Faris, Eli Wallach, and Jon Heder. Equally invigorated and frustrated by these experiences Tim dove back into the commercial world, doing tons of comedy commercials for markets in the US, Canada, France, England, Iceland, Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East, Kazakhstan (!) etc etc. In this capacity he has directed John Cleese, Kristen Bell, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Bay, Fred Armisen, Fred Willard, and on and on.Tim continues to balance commercials with his own long form work as a writer/director, shorts, tv work etc. These include The Second City Project (nominated for five Canadian Screen Awards including best direction) and his self-penned, award-winning Perverts Anonymous. He lives in Toronto with his wife and three kids.
