Tim & Eric

Tim Heidecker was born and raised in Allentown, PA. As a freshman film student at Temple University he met Eric Wareheim, who he began to collaborate with on short films and strange bits of comedic nonsense. One of their first pieces was Tom Goes to The Mayor, which made its way into various film festivals. Fueled by Tom’s success Tim and Eric began sending their tapes to their comedic heroes in Hollywood, including Bob Odenkirk who loved what he saw and helped to develop their ideas into a TV show. Through a chance meeting they were able to get their tapes to the senior vice president of Adult Swim, Mike Lazzo.
