Award-winning visual artist Tim Nardelli is not only an artist, but a filmmaker as well. Passionate about drawing and painting since an early age, Nardelli quickly developed prodigious technical skills and an artistic style which was increasingly influenced by movies. In high school, his love for art blossomed even further as his interest in filmmaking eventually led him to discover the world of comic books and graphic novels, which combined the storytelling of cinema with his talent for visual art. With the advent of digital painting, Nardelli found a perfect media to express his creativity. His work in this new form of technology was honored with the 2003 Golden Key, a prestigious award bestowed by Scholastic, the publishers of the Harry Potter book series. Nardelli considered it a privilege to accept his award at the official ceremony at the Kennedy Center. In 2005 Nardelli enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design, one of the top five art colleges in the U.S., and earned a B.F.A. in sequential art. While a student at Savannah, he spent studying everything from traditional fine art and painting to digital media. To understand the role of comic books in different cultures, Nardelli studied abroad in Japan and France. His college artwork was exhibited in both Lacoste and Savannah and one piece remains in the Savannah College of Art and Design's permanent collection to this day. As a filmmaker, Nardelli has played a key role in several projects. He was an executive producer on the romantic comedy The Giant Mechanical Man, released by Tribeca Films in April 2012. His first project for Taggart Productions LLC was the comedic short Lady in Red, on which he served as executive producer. The film was launched in 2011 on Funny or Die, the industry-leading comedy video site founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. He was also a producer on the indie Sci-Fi horror film CIRCLE which was released by Netflix in 2015. In the film CIRCLE he also served as a concept artist in both designing and conceptualizing various special effects that would eventually be incorporated into the film. Nardelli oversees all art direction for FELT FILMS Productions LLC and LRM LLC. In addition to doing freelance art work, he is currently working on an original creator own graphic novel titled: The Adoption.
