I started directing 30 years ago on my mom’s VHS Camcorder. There’s hours of proof and honestly some of it’s not that bad. I started directing music videos and commercials 15 years ago as a career. I cut my teeth on country music videos before moving to LA in 2014 where I developed my style and voice while getting to work with (warning: name drops) Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, NBC, InStyle, JFFD, 99 Cents Only Stores, Backstreet Boys, Steve Aoki, Deorro, etc, etc, but the whole time I was dreaming about feature films… staying true to 10-year-old Tyler who, with the help of a camera, seemed to have a knack for big ideas and surreal storytelling. Since then, it’s been my biggest passion and love (rivaled only by the daughter we had in 2020). Most recently, I’ve started turning down all client work to allow time for this long-overdue push / singular focus on writing & directing features that I would want to see.
