Over the course of a 26-year career spanning Emmy Award-winning television, cult genre cinema, and Cannes-calibre historical horror, Casey Walker has consistently done things his own way — and consistently come out ahead. His is a filmography defined not by the path of least resistance but by the conviction that the stories worth telling are the ones worth fighting for. He began his filmmaking career with the legendary Frank Oz, working on the Robert De Niro thriller The Score. His many credits include directing Emmy Award-winning children’s series Zoboomafoo, award-winning short film "The Morning After", episodes of Hulu’s The Hardy Boys and Overlord and the Underwoods, producing indie horror phenomenonsThe Void and supernatural thriller Pyewacket, and serving as the sole Executive Producer on In a Violent Nature.

For fifteen years, Walker refused to abandon Ithaqua. A $10 million historical horror set in the winter of 1821 at the fur trade outpost that now bears the name Thunder Bay, where he grew up. The film is shot in English, French, and Ojibwe/Cree, produced in active partnership with the Fort William First Nation on their ancestral lands, and is the first title to relaunch the legendary Hammer Films label under Executive Producer John Gore, multi-award-winning Broadway producer and billionaire. While awaiting Ithaqua’s post-production, Walker directed Home Bodies, produced alongside Karen Harnish (Sleeping Giant, Infinity Pool). Walker resides in the Muskoka region of Ontario with his wife, two dogs, and an impressive collection of broken motorcycles.
