Mike Tynus - 2008
    With more than 20 years experience in television production, Chicago editor and shooter Mike Tynus will make his documentary debut with the film "Lion in the Street."
    Currently a Media Production Coordinator with the Village of Addison, Mike's work began with the village in their television production department 1989. Later, in 1995, Mike started Tynus Productions, shooting and editing corporate productions for clients including Gatorade and Quaker Oats, as well as health care videos for Baxter Travenol. His commercial freelance production work includes projects for the NFL Network and Major League Baseball Productions from 2004 through 2006.
    In 2006, while working on a small production project for Illinois School District 300, Mike met Allison Smith. Not only was he inspired by David's story, but he was intrigued at the opportunity to edit some work in a documentary format. Mike feels the verite-style of story telling coupled with the use of high-def equipment and technology, to be challenging new areas to expand his portfolio.
    Mike studied Television Production at Columbia College in Chicago. A trailer of footage from David Farber's trip to Alaska can be viewed on the Multi-Media page by clicking here. Contact Mike at mtynus@addison-il.org, to see samples of his other work.
