Who is Walt Irby?
Welcome to my online résumé.
Raised in Norfolk and Sandbridge, Virginia, I moved to Boston after high school to study and pursue my filmmaking passion. After shooting and co-producing a feature-length film, in addition to many shorts, I spent five months exploring Australia before graduating from college, moving to Los Angeles and marrying my beautiful wife.
For six months I freelanced on film shoots in Los Angeles as a grip, gaffer, camera assistant, camera operator and teleprompter operator. Upon realizing the freelance lifestyle was less desirable than my imagination had led me to believe, I took a part-time office assistant job with a national cinema club, which evolved into a full-time Director of Operations position.
I am now Marketing Manager and Web/Graphic Designer at the Avalon Theatre in Washington, DC and Director of Operations and Web/Graphic Designer at The Cinema Club, a spin-off of the old Los Angeles job.
