Born in Miami, Florida, Timoner is a graduate of Yale University who majored in Theater Studies and American Studies, concentrating in the latter on Film and Literature.
Timoner is the sole two-time recipient of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, first in 2004 for her documentary DIG!, about the "collision of art and commerce" via the personnae and relational dynamics of leaders of two contemporary indie bands (The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols), and then in the same category in 2009 for We Live In Public about the work of Josh Harris, an internet visionary who, by very personal example, demonstrated the willing sacrifice of privacy and personal peace that occur in the digital age. Both films were acquired by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City for their permanent collection.
