Tyler Hawes Email & Phone Number

I am a Director and Producer in television commercials, motion pictures and television. I'm Co-Founder of Convoy Entertainment, an award-winning production company with offices in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Washington State. I'm Partner and Chief Strategy Officer of Tstop, a digital cinema camera and lens rentals company in Atlanta and Los Angeles. I have a strong background in visual effects, post-production, technology and software development.After starting in the technology industry as a Software Engineer (Intel, Microsoft) I relocated in 2001 to Los Angeles to begin a career in TV/Film. My tech background combined with an arts education found a natural fusion in the film industry, where I could pursue my love of storytelling. I worked for over a decade as a Digital Intermediate Colorist and Visual Effects Supervisor, during which time I founded the boutique digital intermediate and visual effects facility Lit Post. Along the way I also produced some films, both features and shorts, always looking to spend more time behind the camera. This led to me cofounding Convoy Entertainment in 2010 in partnership with my friend Marshall Cook. Convoy grew into a very active production company, having produced over a hundred TV commercials, two feature films, and another film announced. We rented all our cameras and lenses from Tstop, which I eventually joined as a Partner and CSO in 2022.I love my work and especially enjoy being involved with so many aspects of the process, from development through production to finish. It's made even better by collaborating with some incredible talents and fabulous clients. There's a current of people in this industry who always push themselves to do their best work, knowing how fortunate they are to have this fantastically challenging, creative and rewarding vocation. Working with them makes stepping into the studio every day a joy.

Listed skills include Film, Visual Effects, Film Production, Compositing, and 63 others.
