Tim Novotny is an American film actor, writer, composer and director from Ellington, New York.
Novotny began his film career as a music composer while working as a part time actor at Kent State University's theatre program from 2008-2012. He composed several soundtracks for many local independent films in northeast Ohio including Maurice Thomas' (aka J. Starr) Urban Cannibal Massacre (aka Meat The Jones).
After his writing scholarship at KSU had ended, Novotny decided he wanted to bring the stories he wrote to the screen. As an independently taught editor and cameraman, he began shooting music videos for local artists, which lead him to make two short films titled "Twisted Fate" and "Syndrome." After winning 3 awards for his short film "Sonny's Guest" at the 48 Hour Horror Film Competition (Cleveland), he began production on his first feature film titled "Vile Prey," which premiered at the Nightmares Film Festival in Columbus, Ohio in 2016 and was nominated for Best Ohio Feature. Novotny later won the Marshell Hawkins Award for Best Score in a Feature Film at the Idyllwild International Film Festival (2018) for the motion picture "Dark Iris." He continues to work in cinema as the CEO and producer of his company The Novotarian Syndicate.
