Tim Scanlon

Tim Scanlon received a B.A. in English/Communications at Niagara University. In the summer of '89 he traveled across the country to Los Angeles with his college roommate to pursue screen writing. In '91 he secured a job at Multi Entertainment Holdings where he met and worked with Donald O'Connor (Singing In The Rain) on "Father Frost" a Russian, live action fairy tale. In '93 he landed small roles as a stunt man getting him exposure on HBO and TNT in Don "The Dragon" Wilson movies. Tim entrenched himself in the inner-workings of the film industry as a production assistant, set dresser and stunt man. In 1997, he returned home determined to start a Syracuse-based film production company specifically geared toward optimizing local talent and providing springboard opportunities for the acting community.In an effort to hone his production and directing skills and connect with local talent venues, he has written and produced, edited, and starred in his own public television comedy series entitled "Billy Mahoney". The series follows a young salesman through failed attempts at securing steady employment and his emotionally and physically taunting escapades at the hands of his colleagues. Heavily relying on slapstick humor, the "Billy Mahoney" series has adopted a local following which inspired Scanlon to explore a more serious side of the title character in a heroic adventure series. The action-drama "Mahoney's Adventure", presented at the New York International Film and Video Festival in New York City (April 2003), is the first of this new series. The second installment of the series is called "Concrete Skies". A 60 minute action packed film that shows the further adventures of Will Mahoney and LT as detectives being pursued by a local drug dealer thought to be dead. This film was also presented at same festival later that year November 2003."Reynolds City" is also from Scanman Productions. Tim Scanlon wrote, directed, produced and edited this piece. The film debut was at The Palace Theater in Eastwood, New York on October 13, 2005 at 8 p.m. which brought in a crowd of approximately 350 people. This one has plenty of action!"The Challenge" comes from Scanman Productions with a boxing/street fighter genre. It's about Patrick Reilly (Tim Scanlon), a once promising boxer finds himself going down the the wrong path, having fallen into a life of street fighting and brawling to survive. The premiere served as a fund raiser for The Syracuse Golden Gloves Athletic and Education Centers an area youth organization for troubled kids. It raised over $1000 and everyone had an incredible time!Tim has recently been involved with 2014 Hollywood TV Cops and produced an action video in which he directed and starred called "Hollywood TV Cops - Home Invaders". This shows that he is still on the cusp of real-time action adventure. Show less «
