The Art & Adventures of Timothy Wright l

About Me

​

    I've been creating art for as long as I can remember but my first conscious attempt came around high school when one of my best friend's needed help with a film project. I had never considered film making until that shoot, and I don't know if you could actually consider what we did film making, all I knew was it was a blast to make - it all seemed like magic. That experience propelled me into the inspirational and amazing world of stupid-short-films-with-friends-beating-up-on-friends-to-music.  It was beautiful. 

​

    Wanting more I sought out ways to improve so that we could beat up Ben in more interesting and elaborate ways, eventually finding myself in the Theater department at El Camino Community College. Arriving to Ron Scarlata's blackbox in room 151 was another pivotal point in my life. Learning that there was much more to performance then beating Ben up I discovered my love for creating and telling new and interesting stories. 

​

     After being told that "Comedy is actually much more difficult then Drama" and thinking "psh, I could do that" I literally threw myself into the comedy world - I wrote plays, performed sketches, tried out stand-up and made way too many "comedy" videos which I then subjected my friends and family to. Beginning to see school going down a predictable and expensive path, I decided to follow the path of one of my heroes, Bill Murray, and dropped out. Then, just like he did, move to Chicago to attend the sketch and improv comedy school, Second City.

​

    Chicago was the third revelatory spark to shift my life dramatically. Everything about my time living in Chicago was amazing, ironically except for almost everything I did at Second City. Working at the biggest theater in the heart of downtown Chicago, where they held the International Film Festival, really put the performance art industry into perspective. My time in Chicago really solidified my intention and direction for the kind of art that I wanted to make.

​

    When my time in Chicago ended I moved back and set off on the beginning of my journey. So now I sit here trying to express and invent new ways to communicate my questions and hopefully spark your curiosity about the world we live in.

​

    Sincerely, thank you for taking the time to read my words and peruse my work. I truly hope you get something out of anything I do. If you particularly enjoy something and would like to purchase a hardcopy, or would just like to send support, just send me an e-mail @tim.s.wright@live.com. Thank you for taking the time to read all the way up to this point! Congratulations, you're literally rarer then gold! I love you! God bless and thank you again.
