Archive philosophy
Keep the small stuff too.
Full-length ski movies tell only part of Tim’s career. The original web edits, contest runs, photo shoots and athlete-produced diaries capture the progression between major film releases.
This page keeps those records separate from the official filmography so a two-minute GoPro edit is never misrepresented as a feature-film credit.
