Tim Spencer | Writer/Actor/Producer www.timspencer.com.au His Story Tim Spencer is an AACTA-nominated, AWGIE and Green Room Award-winning writer, actor and producer for film, television, online and audio. He is a co-founder of the independent production company Wintergarden Pictures and a screenwriting graduate of the Australian Film Television and Radio School. Tim grew up in the Sydney suburbs hating sport but loving the uniforms. He created, co-wrote, starred in, and produced Ding Dong I’m Gay which has over 28 million views on YouTube and garnered the award for Best Performance in a Digital Series at the 2021 Queerty Awards. Since optioning his adult animation Friend Mode to Cheeky Little Media he continues to develop television and film projects and be the overly enthusiastic guy in writers’ rooms across the country. His writing is keenly observed and tinged with grief. He thrives when exploring the pathos in comedy, as only someone familiar with loneliness can. His world-building is concise, evocative and intricately linked to character and story.
