Gerrie Timmerman, a Dutch-born filmmaker, has participated in several international projects. After producing a Dutch low-budget feature and working on several human interest documentaries in Europe and Japan, she resettled to Los Angeles. From 1996 to 1998, she participated in Steven Spielberg's Holocaust project Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, which has documented more than 52,000 survivor testimonies worldwide. She contributed to the realization of two of the Foundation's documentaries, Lost Children of Berlin and The Last Days, of which the latter, directed by James Moll, won the 1998 Academy Award.
In 1998, while working on her directorial debut Disappearing Act, she started her own production company The Magician's Daughter Productions. The company has several projects in production and development. In 2006, she founded the non-profit media organization Culture Wrap.

CW produces and combines movies with projects that intend to improve cross-cultural relations. CW offers a direct connection between filmmakers, their audiences and the people and organizations from the culture highlighted in their movies. CW supplies audiences with opportunities to get involved and help improve the living conditions of cultural communities around the world. In 2007, CW assisted the award-winning Dutch documentary Buddha's Lost Children with their distribution in 14 US states.
In 2011, Gerrie founded her company Warmlands Hill Group. WHG Inc. is a consulting firm that helps international production companies and independent filmmakers to 'translate' and market their films to an American audience and American films to audiences abroad.
In 2012, as a spin-off from her Disappearing Act project, Gerrie initiated the co-production of the Dutch documentary Ben Ali Libi, Magician with Dutch broadcaster NTR and Dutch production company Zeppers Film.
