Film industry[edit]
In 2001, Timothy Olague formed Important Pictures with childhood friend, Billy Hilbert, p/k/a William De Los Santos (screenwriter of Spun). As of 2012, Important Pictures became a privately held company, owned by: The Coronado Company—based in Olague's hometown of Coronado, California.
The Coronado Company owns several film rights.
In 2010, Olague conceived the idea of Baldy and Badlands, and the Badlanders TV Series, --scripted and reality works which reveal the history of the contribution of skateboarders to the action sports landscape. Filming for both projects commenced in early March, 2016, and is ongoing, for both projects. Primary locations include Mt. Baldy and Upland, California.
Career as professional Roller Derby skater and promoter[edit]
From 1994–1996, Olague skated professional Roller Derby for the Los Angeles Aztecs and the Hollywood Stars of the now-defunct, Roller Derby USA skating league.
Soon after, Olague and Partner Will De Los Santos acquired the trademark for the LA T-Birds, among other Roller Derby teams. In a Federal Court judgement, Judge Dean Pregerson ruled in favor of Olague and De Los Santos, noting that they can rightly exploit their license under their original agreement with the estate of Bill Griffiths, Sr.
Since then, Olague and De Los Santos have contracted for the appearance of the Roller Derby sport in Sony Pictures' "Charlie's Angels II: Full Throttle," CBS' "CSI New York," and NBC's "Average Joe."
