In January 2017, it was announced Timpson would produce a new horror anthology, The Field Guide to Evil, consisting of eight directors, each from a different nation.[8] The crowdfunded project is unique in that it will allow backers the opportunity to have equity investment.[9]

In 2019, his debut feature film Come to Daddy premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film has a score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Personal life

He owns the biggest private collection of 35mm films in the Southern Hemisphere.[2]
