Walter Iuzzolino was a former commissioning editor at Channel 4. In 2015 he cofounded Walter Presents, a global streaming service dedicated to showcasing awardwinning drama from around the world. Since launching in the UK, Walter Presents has
gone from strength to strength, rolling out in several territories including US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Nordics. In November 2019 Walter joined forces with his fellow Walter Presents co-founders Jo McGrath and Jason Thorp to launch Eagle Eye Drama. The company has grown significantly in the past two and a half years and now has four returnable globally successful drama series on its slate: Professor T and Hotel Portofino for ITV, and Before We Die and Suspect for Channel 4.

Eagle Eye Drama has also recently branched into animation with two Channel 4 Christmas specials, Quentin Blake’s Clown and Terry Pratchett’s The Abominable Snow Baby, and it has recently won a 6-part BBC commission, Quentin Blake’s Box of
Treasures, an adaptation of six bestselling Quentin Blake books into a series of animated modern classics.

Walter and his business partner JoMcGrath have also set up a publishing venture called The Writers’ Room Publishing, striking a multi-book deal with global publisher Simon & Schuster to shape and oversee the creation of novels and develop IP that can
thrive commercially from book to film and television adaptations.
