The New Voices Lab is dedicated to helping independent creators produce episodic storytelling. In collaboration with YouTube, it picks 13 creators or co-creator teams to develop their own scripted projects through workshops with experienced filmmakers. This year, the Fellows will attend a three-day workshop at the YouTube Space in LA.
Tim has been producing sketches and short films on his channel, TimH Films, since 2011. He has previously been commissioned twice by New Form Digital as part of their Incubator series, in 2014 and 2016, and graduated from USC School of Cinematic Arts in California in 2016.
As part of the New Voices Lab, he will be developing a project called Witness Protection. It follows a dysfunctional New York couple who must move to Texas when they’re placed in the witness protection programme, only to continuously blow their cover as they try to mend their relationship.
Witness Protection joins Tim’s already-busy slate of projects for 2018. He recently launched an IndieGoGo campaign to fund three sketches and short films under the name “Extraordinary Alien Films”.
US-based YouTuber Jon Cozart, who recently hosted the Streamy Awards, was also selected as a 2017 New Voices Fellow.
