Tim Riel

Tim Riel's writing had a major impact on Los Angeles theater with the cult-favorite play "Timothy and Charlie." Based on the chance meeting between Timothy Leary and Charlie Manson in Folsom Prison, the play drew critical acclaim for its incisive character study and potent use of multimedia. Tim Leary, with a beautiful young woman on his arm and a bottle of wine in hand, was a regular attendee before his final days on this plane. Riel went on to write, direct, and produce a short film based on the infamous scientific study, The Milgram Experiment. "Shocking" was the official selection of the Hoboken Film Festival 2013, the Big Apple Film Festival 2013, as well as the Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema 2014 where it was nominated for four awards including Best Featurette, Best Director of a Featurette, Best Screenplay - and starring actor, Jamison Reeves, took home Best Actor in a Featurette.
