My indoor cats hate it when I pick them up and carry them in front of the outside cats— it’s like they lose all their street cred.

The college theater department my wife oversees as Dean is absolutely fantastic. I’m so excited to see them take this musical on tonight.

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be serving as Series Director on this show featuring my friend William Christopher Ford (Cobra Kai, Karate Kid 3). Looking forward to exploring the kinds of creativity, passion and drive required for people to achieve great things, on THE BEGINNER’S MIND JOURNEY.

ME (50-SOMETHING DIRECTOR): so this is a scene where you're walking. ACTOR (ALSO 50-SOMETHING): well am I hopeful, or sad, or what? ME: you're doing the Lonely Man from The Incredible Hulk. ACTOR: say no more.

My advice to folks trying to work their way into Film: be an asset, not an asshat. We have enough of those in the industry already.

If you ask me for a quote for film work and I give it to you and it’s higher than you expected, don’t get mad at me and send me a pissy reply email, haha. Just hire someone younger and cheaper—there’s plenty of folks out there. I’ve earned my rate over 20+ years of doing this.

Getting to work with Bob Saget early in my career was a gift—he was incredibly nice and funny. The fact that I got to share this scene with him was amazing— going though on-set firearms safety training together was… an experience: youtu.be/Krh2Q84WA0Y?...

Like many of the XY persuasion, I enjoy spending time on the weekend tinkering in my workshop: it looks like I’ll be shooting a follow-up series to my friend William Christopher Ford’s 52 MASTERS later this year, and so I’m working on inventive ways to shoot the show using smaller camera rigs.

Whedon is a toxic trash fire, but this remains a wonderful iteration of the Shakespeare comedy, peopled with my favorite actors from his shows.

If you pitch your script to me and the email starts with “Dear Tim,” it’s DEFINITELY going in the trash.
