Aaron Walker III is a Chicago native and Los Angeles-based filmmaker, musician, and creative director with over 25 years of experience spanning production, post-production, marketing, global streaming, and socially driven documentary storytelling. A graduate of the University of Illinois with a degree in Fine and Applied Arts, Aaron began his career in Hollywood and has since worked with some of the biggest names and platforms in film, television, and music.
Aaron’s career includes two decades of work in entertainment marketing and post-production. He has created and delivered trailers, television and radio spots, key art, and promotional campaigns for major studios and networks including Disney, Warner Bros., Fox, Sony, HBO, BET, The Africa Channel, HGTV, and Nike. His creative contributions span hit films and shows such as *Planet of the Apes*, *Minority Report*, *Cars 2*, *Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides*, *House Hunters International*, and *The Best Man Holiday*.
From 2006 to 2014, Aaron founded and ran **RPG Unlimited Inc.**, a boutique marketing and creative production agency that delivered photography and video content for global brands and media platforms. His clients included Nike, Universal, BET, BallisLife, HGTV (*House Hunters*), and The Africa Channel, among others.
From 2014 to 2024, Aaron served as a global content consultant for the largest streaming platform, where he was responsible for reviewing and approving localized streaming assets — including international audio and video content, subtitle and closed caption files, and platform artwork — ensuring quality and consistency across global markets.
Between 2003 and 2006, Aaron also worked on *The Bernie Mac Show*, contributing in multiple capacities. He supported the Assistant Director (A.D.) Department, helping manage high-profile guest stars such as Snoop Dogg, Brooke Burke, Angela Bassett, George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins, as well as coordinating talent logistics with Bernie Mac himself. Additionally, he collaborated with the Art and Props Departments as a graphic designer, creating custom visual elements for multiple episodes.
Aaron is the Creative Director of **Debaters Without Borders (DWB)**, a documentary initiative created in partnership with Professor Kenneth Newby, Esq. and Morehouse College. He has directed DWB films in Cameroon, Jamaica, and Tanzania, focusing on youth empowerment through education and debate. The first film, *DWB: Cameroon*, was an official selection of the 2021 Morehouse Human Rights Film Festival and toured U.S. college campuses including Vanderbilt University, University of Vermont, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Morehouse College, accompanied by live talks and panels.
As an educator, Aaron taught film editing in Los Angeles at The New York Film Academy from 2009-2011. During this time he also taught in Abuja, Nigeria for Del York International 2010, where his hands-on teaching experience led to a broader career as a journalistic photographer, with images published in international outlets and domestic campaigns, particularly within the music industry. A highlight in his career was interviewing Quincy Jones at his home for the Producers Guild of America.
In 2024 he became an FAA Certified Drone Pilot and works in the real estate and film disciplines mostly. In 2025, Aaron scored his first feature film, *15 Lines*, directed by Chicago filmmaker Sharon Samuels. Since 2021, he has independently released 14 albums across two artist personas, generating over **3.5 million streams globally** across all major music platforms.
Aaron is currently co-directing a new documentary chronicling the decline of Chicago’s South Suburbs since the early 2000s — amplifying resident voices and calling for leadership accountability in historically neglected communities.
Known for letting the work speak for itself, Mr. Walker continues to bridge art, activism, and storytelling — creating content that informs, empowers, and connects across borders and generations.
