About

I’m Tim Hamilton, an award-winning film and TV director and screenwriter with decades of experience across features, television, and high-end commercial work. I love storytelling that feels fresh and innovative and I bring that energy to every project, whether I’m directing, writing, or mentoring the next generation.

From having a short in official competition at Cannes to directing the Warner Brothers feature Mama’s Boy, starring Diane Keaton and Jeff Daniels to creating and shaping television projects for CBC, NBC, and Shaw, my work spans festivals, awards, and global markets. I’m passionate about collaboration, teaching, and exploring new formats in film and media. I’m also excited about using my skill set in different ways such as training AI models.
