has been shooting film and video for over 18 years now. Upon graduation from the film program at Pasadena Art Center College of Design, he started work immediately in the commercial industry directing spots primarily in New York and Los Angeles. He won 2 Gold Clio awards for his commercial work for Levi’s and Conroy’s Flowers as a student at the PACCD. While he was still involved in the commercial industry and as a Director’s Guild member, Walter acquired his own equipment and technology to shoot, direct, and edit his own work. This opened up a wide array of film-making opportunities and found its way to his friend’s wedding in 2001, an experience which brought his gift for storytelling through film to the forefront. While most video companies these days focus on the slick, over-produced movie trailers, there are still people that want the whole experience. That is Walter’s specialty, the whole movie. The end product is unique and custom made, shot by someone well-versed in film-making with attention to detail and the slightest nuance.
From his days of borrowing his mom’s super 8 mm camera, to now directing commercials across the United States for clients such as McDonalds, Toyota, and Geffen Records, one thing remains the same – Walter’s love and gift for storytelling.
Walter is married and resides in San Dimas, California.
