Biography

Tim Greene is one of the South Africa's top writer/directors, wining the SAFTA Golden Horn for Best Director: TV Drama in 2006 for the cutting edge newsroom drama, Hard Copy. His second feature film, Skeem, earned him a 2012 SAFTA, this time for Best Screenwriter.

Skeem garnered international acclaim and rave reviews when it was released in 2011, winning the prestigious Audience Award at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival.

His first feature film Boy Called Twist - the story of a Cape Town street kid, based on Dickens' classic Oliver Twist - screened in Cannes and at festivals around the world and earned him a reputation as 'the guy who got 1000 people to each invest R1000 in his movie', making him a pioneer of crowd-source funding, many years before the term even existed.
