Biography

Walter Campbell is one of the most awarded advertising creatives of the last 50 years. Some of his most memorable-and awarded-work has pushed the notion of a TV commercial into new creative territory. Spots like Volvo "Twister," Dunlop "Expect the Unexpected," made with director Tony Kaye are prime examples, but perhaps the best one is Guinness "Surfer" with director Jonathan Glazer, an ad many consider to be one of the best ever made.

Campbell's latest collaboration with Glazer is the film Under the Skin, a sci-fi drama starring Scarlett Johansson as an alien who roams the streets of Scotland, seducing men to destroy them. Its been hailed as a daring and experimental triumph, and a "grand statement on what it means to be a human being." The L.A. Weekly wrote, "We may finally have an heir to Kubrick."
