Tim Prokop started his television career straight out of college as an in-house scriptwriter and storyliner for the top-rated Australian drama series Sons & Daughters. After two years in the writer's room he moved to the hit dating series Perfect Match and was promoted to Head Writer.
On returning to his birthplace in the United States, Tim connected with the visual effects artists at Showscan and designed and scripted theme park attractions for Showscan, Universal Studios, Art & Technology and Six Flags' (including the Space Shuttle America simulator ride).

He wrote and produced the Discovery series Movie Magic, the AMC series Cinema Secrets, and dozens of feature documentaries, formats, clip shows, docuseries and reality shows under the tutelage of Gary Benz.
