We are excited to report that Tim Keenan Burgess (Paiute, Shoshone) was hired as Wisdom’s’ Multimedia Coordinator in September. Tim received his Associates of Applied Science in Multimedia and a second Associates degree in Video Production from Portland Community College. During his media career, he has served as Producer/Director at Eisenwald Records; Associate Producer for The Learning Channel; as well as editor, production assistant, camera operator and key grip for a number of broadcast companies.
Tim is already assisting us with production of the Climate and Native Wisdom Documentary Film Series and joined us last week as we travelled to the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to record Native elders, scientists and youth for our documentary featuring Oregon’s interior tribes and their response to emerging climate issues.
Tim is also supporting the other multimedia projects at Wisdom. He is currently coordinating the purchase of Wisdom’s new film equipment with funding provided by Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission. In his personal life, Tim is a screenwriter, musician, artist, avid reader, and a photographer as well as a filmmaker.
Welcome Tim!
