Timothy Wheeler

Director, Producer, and Director of Photography of the award-winning documentary. Poached reveals the underworld of illegal bird egg collecting by following convicted egg offenders as they confront their destructive obsession and nature's army of bird lovers who try to stop them. SXSW (Nominated, Grand Jury) , International Wildlife Film Festival (Best in Fest) , Matsula Nature Film Festival (1st Prize), Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival (Finalist, Best Score) "The subject matter is only part of what makes 'Poached' one of the more unsettling documentaries to come along lately. The presentation is also pivotal. The director, Timothy Wheeler, finds a handful of people who are willing to talk about their particularly odd obsession, and he lets them go on at length, taking viewers right up to the edge of aberration in a way no traditional documentary can." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
