Diane Foster on Women Empowerment and her production house WallyBird Productions!

You will see her smiling through thick and thin. You will see her standing up for the right cause. You will see her adorned with the pride flag. You will see her trying out new adventures. And you will also see her rocking the cradle and the world as well. She is a wonder woman. She is no other than the founder of WallyBird Productions and creative director of JUNO, Diane Foster.

Diane Foster is a producer based in Los Angeles who launched her own production company, WallyBird Productions, back in 2018,  in order to produce all forms and genres of media worldwide. Known famously for the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival nominated feature film IOWA starring Rosanna Arquette, John Savage, and Michael T. Weiss,  Foster defines success as when she is no more entitled and answerable to anyone anymore. She is the epitome of a true filmmaker when she spent five years investigating the meth epidemic in Middle America, which resulted in the making of the documentary Dying for Meth and was awarded Best Documentary at the Prism Awards and nominated with CBS‘ Cares and NBC’s The More You Know. Foster also produced the 2011 horror cult classic The Orphan Killer, and its sequel Bound X Blood: The Orphan Killer 2, which was about a serial killer hell-bent on teaching his estranged sister about family loyalty in 80s-style slasher fashion.

When it comes to woman empowerment, she never steps back and always ready to lead. Her motto is to give equal chances to females coming from different races and be a part of the creative team. She dreams of WallyBird to make it big in the industry where they tell the stories of women and hand-over them the opportunities which had been taken away by the men.

Her accomplishment list goes on with the production of the pilot for the web series Lettuce, a comedy about midlife crisis, sex, and aliens. The series is executively produced by Robert Gunnerson and Peter Facinelli. Before the Dawn marks Foster’s fourth feature film, which consisted of mainly female crew members. She also finished producing the short film, Dissonance written by Rafi Jacobs whose successful Indie Go-Go campaign donated a percentage of the fundraising to The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ young people under 25. Great work for the noble cause.

While scrolling through her Instagram feed,  we stumbled over a few pieces of advice she has for the young minds prepping for the world.

“Through any pain or struggle that you have been through, I can promise on the other side of that is freedom. Freedom for you to live the best version of you. You are unique. There is no else like you in this world and that is your superpower.”
