Stephen Walker has directed 23 films for the television networks BBC and Channel Four, including “Hiroshima – A Day That Shook The World”, a drama documentary film about the final 24 hours before the dropping of the atom bomb (nominated for three Emmys® including Best Director and Best Cinematography, winner of Emmy for Best Music and Sound, winner of National Geographic Cine Golden Eagle Award); the critically acclaimed “Faking It: Punk to Conductor,” the story of a punk singer who transforms himself into a classical orchestra conductor in just four weeks (winner of the 2003 Montreux Rose D’Or and International Press Prize awards, and a BAFTA®: “One of the most riveting, hair-raising and ultimately moving programmes I have seen on television,” wrote Daily Mail.) Walker also directed “Hardcore,” a film about the Los Angeles porn industry (nominated for the Grierson Award for Best Documentary 2001: “Simply devastating,” wrote Times and “Awesome,” wrote Time Out.), and “Waiting for Harvey”, a documentary about four crazy directors who do anything and everything to make it big at the Cannes Film Festival. Walker has directed drama for BBC TV including “Prisoners in Time,” starring John Hurt and winner of the Writer’s Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Television Drama.
Walker has also written two books, most recently “Shockwave: Countdown to Hiroshima”, (Harper Collins 2005), which reached the New York Times Bestseller List, and “King of Cannes”, a riotous account of his two weeks at the famous film festival. He lives in London, England with his wife Sally George and daughter Kitty.
I've followed Stephen's work for a number of years. He really does it for me. A great talent. Try and see his latest "A boy called Alex" for Channel 4 UK.
