Walter Biscardi/Biscardi Creative Media
Biscardi Creative Media, located in Metro Atlanta, is a full service script to screen Creation Company at the forefront of creative media production. Emmy-award winning broadcast programming, episodics, commercials, feature films and corporate marketing video productions are some of the projects their storytellers bring to the screen every day.
A recognized leader in creative digital design, Walter Biscardi, Jr. launched BCM in 2001 with a single purpose: bring art to digital media. Today’s world is overwhelmed with technology, but it takes good storytellers to bring your message to life in an effective and entertaining way. In other words, the latest digital tools don’t make a quality production; the artist using those tools do. Drawing on over 20 years of industry experience, Walter pulls together a creative team that has amassed every major award and traveled to every country in pursuit of a single goal: The story.
Some credits of note: Editor/Animator: “Good Eats” (Food Network); Producer/Editor: “Foul Water Fiery Serpent” featuring Sigourney Weaver (PBS); Managing Producer, “This American Land” (PBS); Producer/Colorist, “Dark Forest Black Fly” featuring Mia Farrow (PBS).
Original programming for both new and traditional media is in development through sister company MTWD Entertainment. Walter is Executive Producer and Director for MTWD.
