BYRON JORDAN WOLTER

Creative Director

Hello, My name is Byron

It’s nice to meet you. I am a multi-award-winning film director living in both California and Indiana.

I believe in living a life fully in tune with the human spirit. I have been working in Film and Television for 20 years and as a Creative Director for 10 years. Throughout my experience, I have found myself in many different roles in many different organizations, productions, and campaigns. I have found that to be an effective Director, you must first know every single role of your teammates on each task in order to be effective. It is as simple as understanding the problem each role on set may bring to me as the lead storyteller in order to work towards solving it.

Kaizen is a word I adopted from working with manufacturers and brands that use and implement the Toyota Production System in their companies. I integrate Kaizen (Continuous Growth) into all areas of my life. I believe that to be an effective Creative Director, I must also be an effective person who is at one with growth in the human spirit. It is all about spirit.

I can explain. Let me take you to the mountains. Or bring the mountain to you as my client. My mindset is that of climbing a mountain.

Film Production is inherently problem-solving, and I find that is a fun way of looking at it. Especially when things aren’t working perfectly on the set of a commercial or in the studio for a brand campaign, I laugh and think: how can we best solve this creatively?

The Pause: Stressful times make for stressful decisions; passions may run high when time is burning money, but rushing anything makes anything worse. So I try to practice pause and breath when things get tight and pressured in any time of life. We are only human, imperfect, but perfect if we pause before we act, and we do not react.

2026/27 CREATIVE DIRECTOR PROJECTS

Saving the Montgomery Mustang Herd

I believe we have an obligation to leave this planet better than we found it. I also believe that we need to stand up for what we believe in, with truth as our resolve. I found myself spending a lot of time with a herd of mustangs on Montgomery Pass in the Eastern Sierra, and when the U.S. Forest Service announced they would be rounding 450 horses up from Long Valley, I decided to put my skills to work trying to stop what I perceive to be inhumane and wrong.

Each of these videos is experiencing a fair bit of virality and is still circulating, as the issue of wild horse roundups has become of national importance.

SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTION

Being a Creative Director in 2027 means taking more responsibility than ever before to ensure our campaigns meet our goals with engagement across all platforms. We must remake ourselves into something of a logical director as well as a creative, watching how posts perform and adapting the creative plan to adhere to performance within each distinct platform.

This takes strategy. And knowledge of how each platform behaves. Virality isn’t simple, but there are many factors that contribute to it on each platform that can be met with creative design and tactics. We can move forward with Kaizen this way, by measuring the results with insights.

MOUNTAIN MASTER

A mission of aspiring to mountain mastery.

I found a spirit in the Mountains I didn’t know that I possessed. Mountain Mastery attempts to tell the story of the adventure of human spirit. It is like nothing I can fully explain to be on a mountain truly extraordinary.

Blindingly brilliant.

He was the main pilot camera operator for Indiana’s Wild Landscapes produced in 2017.

Most recently he complete a commercial for the Eskenazi Museum of Art that goes through the Museum quickly but allows the audience to get an enticing glance at what the museum has to offer. The campaign was targeted at IU students as the museum is a resource that is underused but is an incredible experience.

I taught film at the IU Media School for 5 years. I enjoy teaching and seeing new students in film production and theory begin their journey of storytelling through visual language.
