Timbre Lee Kegermann Trezise is an American Film Director, Screenwriter, Designer & Editor. She lives in New England with her husband, James Trezise, focusing on family, business, and the debut of her first feature film.
“Born in Morgantown, West Virginia, Timbre Lee Kegermann grew up with her award-winning fiber artist mother, who was herself the daughter of a Nebraskan socialite and the son of a Danish-immigrant dairy farmer. Having a nuclear family until the age of ten, Timbre also grew up with her professional skier / kayaker father, who was originally the middle child of a 10 sibling household in Chicago, IL. Shortly after her birth, Timbre’s parents founded and co-founded The Crested Butte Kayak, Rafting and Adventures Co-Op; as well as The Legendary Burt Rentals Snowmobile Tours, in Crested Butte, Colorado, where she and her transgender sibling grew up quite unconventionally.
Following her parents divorce, Timbre spent her high school years as a delinquent in Omaha, Nebraska, before leaving home early to travel the country bohemian style, then having four children while living off-grid in northern New Mexico.
Timbre met her husband, James Trezise, while he was attending Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado. They began collaborating on various projects, getting married after moving to Burlington, Vermont, and have created over 111 short films, as well as several successful businesses together.
Timbre has always felt and been perceived as a highly empathic and emphatic out-sider, with killer intuition, instinct, and a dramatic flair for hyper-stylized realism, the dark and the esoteric. ”
