About Timothy

Timothy Offor is a writer, director, and producer whose work blends cinematic intensity with emotionally grounded storytelling. A native of Brooklyn, NY, and the son of a Trinidadian English professor and a Nigerian chartered accountant, Offor’s multicultural roots and early exposure to narrative shaped a creative voice marked by visual boldness and emotional depth. His passion for filmmaking was sparked as a child after seeing Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever—a defining moment that continues to inspire his approach to storytelling.
Offor was a semifinalist for the Warner Brothers 100th Short Film Directors’ Initiative and a recipient of the Deutsche Bank Frieze Los Angeles Film Award. His short films have screened at leading festivals including BlackStar, the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, Houston International, Gasparilla, and Queens World—earning recognition for their distinct aesthetic and nuanced character work.
He is the co-founder of Coco Butter, a Los Angeles-based production company specializing in original film, television, and branded content. Through Coco Butter, Offor has directed and produced over $2 million in commercial work for major partners including Marvel Studios, Neutrogena Studios, BET, Meta, Visa, REI, Nissan, and more.
Most recently, Offor served as executive producer and director of Travel Queens, an unscripted travel docu-series now airing on BET Her. The series showcases his ability to lead culturally resonant, visually engaging content across formats.
He holds dual B.A.s in Media Studies and English from Penn State University and an MFA in Film & Television Production from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. Based in Los Angeles, Offor continues to develop a slate of original projects that reflect his commitment to bold storytelling and cinematic craft.
His debut narrative feature, Streets Is Watching, begins filming in New York City in summer 2025, expanding his body of work into the realm of sophisticated, character-driven cinema.
