Biografía
Tyler Knowles is an award-winning filmmaker. Tyler was raised on a farm in Wisconsin and educated at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, one of the world's leading universities in Film Theory. His love for filmmaking began at an early age, experimenting with stop-motion animation and attempting to get his family and friends to act in staged home movies with Tyler at the helm of the productions. In high school, Tyler began shooting and editing shorts using Mini-DV cameras and non-linear video editing software. While at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he learned, and expanded his knowledge of, Apple's Final Cut Pro, which led him to a job with Apple, Inc. in 2006, teaching the entire Final Cut Studio editing suite across Southern California. It was at this time that Tyler began editing feature-length work. In ten years living in SoCal, Tyler edited seven feature films, including the cult classic, Go West Happy Cow, numerous national and regional commercials, industrial videos, music videos, government projects, short films, and the list goes on. Tyler's first feature film sold to Lionsgate, his second premiered at Cannes Film Festival, and Tyler has since received numerous accolades and awards, including two Telly Awards in June 2013, a third in 2014, fourth in 2017, and a Producers Guild of America mentorship for placing 2nd in the 2013 Weekend Shorts Contest. In 2020, Tyler relocated to San Antonio, Texas where he continues to freelance in the production world, with a keen interest in drone cinematography (Tyler is a FAA certified pilot) and virtual reality storytelling.
