Walter Lawlor is a Producer and Assistant Director born and raised in St. John's, NL. Walter grew up on set of many classic Newfoundland and Canadian productions under the watch of his father, a producer for CBC TV. This upbringing inspired his desire spend a life turning dreams and ideas into cinematic reality. After attending St. Thomas University and the University of Toronto, Walter qualified as a paratrooper in the Canadian Army, where he served in Bosnia. On return to Canada he joined the Directors Guild of Canada and began his film production career as an Assistant Director, climbing the ranks while working on dozens of productions in Toronto and St. John's. He made his move to Producing with the film "Incredible Violence" which screened at Cannes in 2018 at the Telefim Canadian Perspectives and the Frontières Showcase as well as the 2018 Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival in Spain and the Atlantic Film Festival in Nova Scotia. He has written three feature films, including the historical Viking drama "Leif" and action drama "South Coast", both of which he intends to bring to camera through his company, Third Child Films. Walter has a slate of films both in production for 2019 and more in development for 2020 and beyond.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
