About Tinkham Town

What do Slamdance, the Rhode Island International Film Festival, the Short Film Festival of India, the Palm Springs International Shorts Festival and the 49th Rochester International Film Festival have in common? That’s right. Just like 250 other film festivals, they’ve all accepted and screened films created by TinkhamTown Productions.

So, what exactly is TinkhamTown Productions? And how did it begin?

Todd Tinkham longed to write and direct films since he was a boy growing up in a small fishing community in Massachusetts. But it would take years of working with at-risk teens, mentally ill adults, and incarcerated men, before Tinkham would ever make his first film.

Todd Tinkham founded TinkhamTown Productions in 2005 after losing both of his parents to cancer in 2004. Realizing that his parents had never really pursued their dreams, Todd decided that he could not wait any longer. “After my folks died, I realized that I wasn’t going to live forever, and that if I wanted to go after my dreams, I’d better start now.”

His first film, AND THEN THERE WERE NUN (2005), screened at more than 30 film festivals in the US, Canada, Austria and the UK, garnering several filmmaking awards.

With that initial success, Tinkham decided to make six more films before the year was over.

Tinkahm’s first children’s film, SADIE TURNS SEVEN (2006), has screened at over 75 film festivals,I ncluding the Rhode Island International Film Festival, the Heart Of Gold International Film Festival the San Francisco International Children’s Film Festival, the Staten Island International Film Festival, the Kent Film Festival, and the Short Film Festival of India.

SADIE TURNS SEVEN continues to receive invitations to screen at film festivals around the world.

Todd’s most recent films are featured on this website. Info about his early films can be found here: www.tinkhamtown.org

So far, Todd Tinkham’s films have screened at more than 250 film festivals in the past 3 years. That number increases weekly.

His first web-series, THE NEW WORLD, www.thenewworld.tv will appear online starting in January, 2009.
