Timothy Michael Gorski -Director

Tim Gorski was born and raised in New Jersey. He has always had a passion for art and nature… and for questioning authority.

He received a Masters degree in Film Arts at Miami International University, a BS degree in Visual Communications from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale (AIFL) a Liberal Arts AA degree (focus in Philosophy and Ethics) from Broward Community College.

Tim began working in television in 1992 as a broadcast graphic designer/animator. In '94 he became art director of The Animation Factory, working on commercials, game cinematics, and Saturday morning cartoons. In 1995 Tim joined faculty at AIFL to help design a computer animation program. In 1997 he became a full-time instructor spending much of his spare time educating himself in culture, philosophy, and animal and environmental issues.

He is co-founder of Rattle the Cage Productions, making docs, commercials, and PSA's concerning animal and environmental protection issues. RTC credits include the Wildlife Care Center of Fort Lauderdale, VIVA USA, SHARK, Dolphin Project, One Voice, and Dolphin Freedom Foundation.

Gorski works with former animal trainers and wildlife specialists designing lectures and presentations for schools, universities, and conferences on the subjects of Marine Mammals in Captivity and Guerilla Documentary Filmmaking.

In 2007 Tim directed and filmed a feature doco aboard the Sea Shepherd flagship Farley Mowat in the Antarctic whale wars. His adventurous nature has delivered him down the muddy rivers of the Amazon Jungle with Yanomami indians and has compelled him to hike through the Sahara desert with nomads on Christmas day, armed with just his journal and a toothbrush.
