“Lightheartedness and a healthy irreverence is good prevention to punching your own ticket on the crazy train.” ~ Ty Towriss
Ty Towriss began his television production career at Turner Broadcasting in 1990. He then became part of the creative services team at Fox Sports South in 1995. In 1998 he set out on his own to form NLX Broadcast Design, which he still operates to this day. In his nearly 3 decades long career, he has garnered 22 Emmy Awards and 42 Emmy nominations spanning multiple categories ranging from Producer, Editor, Writer, Graphics Designer, Set Designer, Director of Photography, Audio Designer and more. In addition Ty has won 3 Telly Silver and 11 Telly Bronze awards. Rounding out the accolades, Ty reeled in a hard-earned Promax Gold Medallion Award in 2010, and 1 Promax Silver award to boot. In his career as a creative services industry professional, Ty has produced top quality broadcast creative service catering to the creative needs of regional and national broadcasters, the music industry, in-house corporate communications, and the advertising industry.
In 2010, Ty had a life-altering encounter, which shifted his professional and creative pursuits from the world of sports television into documentary style productions, where he began exploring deep topics that deal with the creation, meaning, and purpose of human existence. Wanting truthful answers to tough but honest questions, a new-found quest was hatched which landed him in Israel in 2011. Ty set out with a very small group to explore the land of our ancient ancestry. Consulting modern day “experts”, referencing the ancient manuscripts found in many versions of today’s Bible, along with a smattering of non-canonical ancient works (i.e. Book of Enoch), and lastly examining evidence found in the rocks of archaeology, the paradigm shifting began.
Since that initial journey into the cradle of human existence, other pursuits began to bear less significance. For a time, gathering up historical research became somewhat of an obsession. Wife Amy will surely attest (protest), as Ty dropped every other pursuit to embark on multiple, self-funded, fact-finding journeys to Israel. Now heavily vested in time, energy, career, personal finances, and personal hermeneutical veneration, Ty has learned the hard way, when one sets out to acquire understanding it often comes with a heavy price.
Ty’s film series. Footsteps of Lost Truth, is an invitation to “come along for the ride”… as Ty and his friends are going in the “Footsteps of Lost Truth”, where they seek to find treasure in understanding thru the eyes of the people they encounter. In summary Footsteps asks the question… “How did you get here?”
