William started film-making in childhood with story-driven silent films on Super-8 that segued in adolescence to "talkies" on VHS. As a young adult he worked cameras for a live NEWS broadcast in his hometown and learned how to linear-edit video tape as he did voice-overs for commercial spots. His first non-linear digital editing experience came from a corporate video competition.

Subsequently focusing on a career as a computer engineer on virtual reality, scientific visualization, military simulations, and 3D games lead him away from film for years. However, since 2017 he has been actively involved in the Denver area film community and expanded his craft on many projects, stepping into the realms of casting, scouting, and production as required.

In October of 2025 he premiered "Silk" a 40-minute neo-noir which went to the festival circuit. His prior project was "Material" another 40-minute "cerebral" sci-fi. As of January 2026 he is in development on a John Hughes like high school story about nerd musicians.
