Tim Christenson

Tim Christenson was raised in Northern Iowa, the youngest of four children. He graduated from the University of Northern Iowa, majoring in Stage Production and Communications, and took a slight detour into property leasing and development during his last two years of University. It was landing a job as a production assistant on the feature “Miles From Home” just after college that set Christenson on a successful path in to entertainment. The film, which shot near his home town, starred Richard Gere and Helen Hunt and was directed by Gary Sinise.

Starting with “Power” Season 2, he began his tenure in the “Power” Universe, managing post production operations in Los Angeles, for the NY based drama.  He continued with “Power” through its highly acclaimed series finale in Season 6.   Without missing a beat, he and the Editorial and Post Production teams went on to kick off “Power Book II: Ghost,” which is currently airing on STARZ.  Along with Book II, Christenson also serves as a Supervising Producer on “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” and “Power Book IV: Force.”

He also teamed with Wahlberg and Levinson on the multi award winning HBO drama series “In Treatment” which ran for three incredible and critically acclaimed seasons.

Christenson’s early work includes a co-producer role on the 2008 Sony Television and ABC multi-nominated adaptation of “A Raisin In The Son” starring Phylicia Rashad, Sean Combs, Sanaa Lathan, John Stamos, and Audra McDonald. This made for TV movie marks his third collaboration with Craig Zadanand Neil Meron. His sophomore collaboration with Zadan and Meron was as a co-producer on the 2006 Sony Television and A&E made for TV comedy “Wedding Wars” starring John Stamos and Eric Dane. He also co-produced the 2006 NBC comedy series “The Book of Daniel” starring Aidan Quinn, Garret Dillahunt and Ellen Burstyn.

Christenson’s first big job was as a production associate on the 1992 MGM production of “Of Mice and Men” starring John Malkovich and Gary Sinise who also directed the film, earning a nomination for the Palme d’Or. Christenson had the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business during his five-year tenure with HBO, and his work during a 12-year relationship with Sony Television provided him with vast knowledge of post production.
