TIMOTHY KANDRA

COLLABORATOR | INNOVATOR | CREATOR

Three-year-old Timothy Kandra stood frozen at the threshold of a darkened movie theater, frightened by the booming sounds of Finding Nemo. That fear of sound and shadow—and stories too big to grasp—stayed with him for many years. Yet somewhere between fear and fascination, a spark ignited. What once overwhelmed him began to pull him in. He no longer wanted to flee the screen; he wanted to understand, control, and shape it.

Today, Timothy is a filmmaker, videographer, and multimedia specialist based in Atlanta, GA, driven by a passion for storytelling and the moving image. His creative path took shape in the Performing and Visual Arts (PVA) Magnet Program at Annapolis High School, where he first approached the camera with purpose. Building on that foundation at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), he earned his B.F.A. in Film & Television in 2021, continuing to hone his cinematography, editing, and storytelling skills.

After college, Timothy became a videographer for a professional dance company, capturing the fleeting nature of live performance through film. In 2022, he brought that same eye for movement and meaning to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), producing multimedia content that combined design, motion graphics, and storytelling to educate and engage.

Drawing from experience in stage acting and years of writing film reviews, Timothy combines emotional insight with analytical clarity in his work. With a passion for film as both reflection and storytelling—and a particular affinity for musicals—he writes and directs with the same awe that once made him hesitant to enter the theater. Now, he steps behind the lens not in fear, but in pursuit of wonder.
