Cole Walliser
Director & Content Creator
Cole Walliser is a Canadian director, writer, and creative producer best known for directing E! Entertainment’s GlamBOT, the signature high speed red carpet camera system that has become a global online phenomenon. He was named one of TIME’s Top 100 Creators, cementing his status as a standout figure in contemporary visual storytelling and pop culture.
Cole began his career filming dancers in Vancouver, which led to directing Miley Cyrus’s viral online dance battle. His talent for blending performance and cinematic movement propelled him to create tour visuals and documentaries for P!nk’s Funhouse and The Truth About Love world tours, as well as a multi screen narrative short film for Katy Perry’s California Dreams tour.
He has since collaborated with major global artists including Cher, Britney Spears, Selena Gomez, Tinashe, and Laura Marano. Originally from Vancouver, Cole holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of British Columbia and later relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his creative career.
