About

I’m Walter Williams, a filmmaker, writer, and director with a long track record in comedy, documentary production, and digital technology. I created the Mr. Bill character for Saturday Night Live and directed national campaigns for brands like Pizza Hut, Lexus, and Burger King.

I’m drawn to stories that mix humor with tech, and I focus on environmental preservation and New Orleans’ history. I handle end-to-end video production—from editing and sound design to CG animation and BluRay/DVD authoring—driving compelling narratives across genres while educating and inspiring communities.
