Diane Foster
Diane Foster is a prominent American producer based in Los Angeles, known for her impactful contributions to the film industry. Her notable feature film, "IOWA," which features performances by Rosanna Arquette, John Savage, and Michael T. Weiss, was recognized at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival with a nomination for Best Narrative Feature. Foster's investigation into the methamphetamine crisis in Middle America during the production of "IOWA" inspired her to create the documentary "Dying for Meth," which garnered the Best Documentary award at the Prism Awards and received nominations from CBS' Cares and NBC's The More You Know.
In 2011, she produced the horror cult classic "The Orphan Killer" and its sequel, "Bound X Blood: The Orphan Killer 2," which explores themes of familial loyalty through an 80s slasher lens. Merchandise for both films has been made available in retail giants like Walmart and Sears. Foster's work also extends to television; she produced the pilot for the web series "Lettuce," a comedic take on midlife crises, romance, and extraterrestrial encounters.
In 2018, she founded WallyBird Productions, aimed at developing diverse media projects across various genres. The company debuted its first theatrical production in San Francisco with James McClure's one-act comedies, "Laundry and Bourbon" and "Lone Star." Most recently, WallyBird has completed work on the romantic comedy short "SHIRi" and the dark comedy "Make A Wish," reflecting Foster's dedication to inclusive storytelling and high-quality entertainment.
