Comment: The current references do not demonstrate significant coverage as outlined at WP:SIGCOV - they only have passing mentions of him personally. MolecularPilot 🧪️✈️ 10:11, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I would recommend that creator add references necessary to support everything in the body, including the film making and filmography sections. CNMall41 (talk) 03:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: IMDb is never a reliable source for anything (user edited) and we require significant, in-depth coverage in independent sources to pass WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Filmmaking
[edit]After making several short films (including one, Auto-Mates (1978), that was the subject of an American Cinematographer article about the unusual tracking system designed by cinematographer Tom Frei[2]), Walkow wrote and directed his first feature, The Trouble With Dick[3], which screened at the 1987 U.S. Film Festival (later renamed to Sundance)[4] and shared the festival's Grand Prize with Jill Godmilow's Waiting for the Moon[5]. His second feature, Notes from Underground[6] (1995), based on the Dostoevsky novella and starring Henry Czerny and Sheryl Lee, premiered at the Toronto Film Festival[7], and won the Annual Land Grant Prize at the Taos Talking Pictures festival[8]. Walkow's third feature, Beat (2000), was shot in Mexico, and starred Kiefer Sutherland and Courtney Love as William and Joan Burroughs[9][10]. It was released in the U.S. by Lion's Gate.
Walkow's 2009 film Callers was released in 2011 as Ghost Phone: Phone Calls from the Dead, partially re-shot and re-edited, and with direction credited to producer Jeffrey F. Jackson.
