"One of my fond childhood memories was visiting a TV station in elementary school. It was a magical place with tuns of activity. As time went on, so did the lust for someday working in TV or maybe film. My parents would take me to movies and eventually ended up buying me a film camera.

Its amazing how a $10.00 Super 8 film camera can spark interest in filmmaking. At the age of 12, my library of Super 8 movies was finally assembled and watched publicly for the first time. The family finally saw themselves in motion and from that day forward, shooting was my profession. As Super-8 film died, video formats took its place. From Betamax to Hi-8 and eventually DVCAM became the format of choice.

Eventually I ended up Directing live news programming, shooting commercial spots and editing during every week, on top of my education and part-time job!" - 2001 Tyler Purcell

In more recent years, short subject films and documentary's have been the mainstay of Tyler's active life. The fascination of post production has led Tyler to work exclusively with the Apple based Final Cut Pro™ editing solution. Tyler has also been an Apple certified technician since 1998, so going the direction of FCP was only time. His love for film continued through college and into the short independent film market. With film's like "The Perfect Moment" and "The ID Project" Tyler extended his portfolio enough to get better gigs.

In Fall of 2002, Tyler made the big jump to Hollywood. For the past 6 years, Tyler has been working in the motion picture capitol of the world. Fresh from Boston, Tyler worked in post production and cinematography on such films as "Burning Annie", "Sweet Potato Pie" , "Ruth Brown : Better late then never" and "Tempting Hyenas" where he designed an on-set FCP capturing rig. The success of these small projects has helped Tyler get his name heard around Hollywood, especially in the technical circuits where he mainly resides.
