GOOD TALK WITH TIM ROPER

Tim Roper is an award-winning Writer-Director with a diverse mix of experience in both filmmaking and brand building. After graduating with a Film degree from The University of Texas at Austin with a minor in history, Tim began a 25-year career writing and directing short-form branded content and crafting screenplays.

In 2019, Tim joined Marc Bennett and Lisa Effress to begin writing, co-directing, and narrating the feature documentary FOR THE LIVING as a cautionary tale for a society grappling with the two extremes of human
nature: Dehumanization and Empathy.

Tim asserts that this film—which veers between the intimate and the historical—is not merely about The Holocaust. Or any genocide. FOR THE LIVING is about each and every one of us. And, ultimately, which “road” we choose to travel.

Expertise
I wrote the vast majority of For the Living, did all the historical research and curated the archival clips and images. I also co-directed it while supervising the edit as well.

Speaking History
I've spoken at over 25 international film festivals and several university campuses and high schools.
