A veteran writer, producer, host and director in radio, television, film and new media, Tim Wilson produces documentaries and profiles both for broadcast and as private commissions.

A former host of National Public Radio's Sunday Show, CBC Radio's Arts Report and contributor to that network's flagship documentary series, Ideas, he has also been presenter for arts programming on VISION TV, the world's first multi-faith television network.

Many of his programs spring from a lifelong interest in poetry, psychology, mythology and the sacred.

He has guest-lectured, hosted and taught at institutions from the Banff School of Fine Arts and the Marshall McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology, to New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

His documentaries, including Chant: The Healing Power of Voice and Ear (recently re-released), and The Fez Festival of World Sacred Music have appeared on broadcast networks in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. His television essays are now featured nationally on The Hallmark Channel in the U.S., and his photography has been published in the Pulse of the Planet section of National Geographic online.

Upright Grand, a poignant personal essay about his mother's descent into dementia, won a Golden Sheaf in 2003 for Best Short Documentary at Canada's Yorkton Festival, and honorable mentions in New York and Los Angeles. To see an excerpt of the film online, click here.
