Jordan Peele is an African American man known primarily for his skits with his partner Keegan-Michael Key on their show on Comedy Central, Key and Peele. However, after the ending of their show, Peele has become known as a talented director and screenwriter for various successful movies, such as Get Out and BlacKkKlansman, respectively.
Born in 1979, Jordan Peele is just barely a millennial, but most certainly an entrepreneur. His entrepreneurial beginnings could be dated all the way back to 2012 with his show “Key and Peele.” He and his partner Keegan-Michael Key, both of who previously starred together on Fox’s “Mad TV” from 2003-2008, ran their own sketch comedy show. You may have unintentionally watched some of their content on Youtube or Facebook at some point. However, the show ended in 2015, as both Key and Peele wanted to expand and explore other forms of entertainment. The two went on to write, produce, and act in their own full-length feature film in 2016 titled “Keanu”, which received positive reviews, and met up again in 2019 to voice act in Disney’s “Toy Story 4”.
Jordan Peele’s biggest break in the world of cinema, however, was for his critically acclaimed horror/thriller film titled “Get Out”, which was a huge box office success. The horror, thriller, and mystery genres were struggling to stay afloat, with few notable releases occurring prior to Peele’s work. However, Jordan Peele managed to create an interesting and enjoyable-to-watch film the sparked interest in those genres, with movies such as “A Quiet Place” and “Bird Box” drawing inspiration from Peele’s work.
Before Full Time Filmmaker, Peter was a director, cinematographer, and editor for Youtube channel devinsupertramp, whose channel focused on a wide variety of videos, from video game-inspired action shorts to incredible athletic feats to beautiful shorts of iconic locations around the world. Devinsupertramp has garnered plenty of attention with filmmaking enthusiasts, with their smooth camera work and editing style, thanks to both the creator of the channel, Devin Graham, and Peter Walbeck. Peter aided Devin’s channel from the beginning of 2013 to August of 2015, before departing to begin his own channel, called Peter Walbeck, that had the same feel as devinsupertramp. However, on Peter’s new channel, he began focusing on the behind-the-scene aspects of creating such videos, such as recommended equipment and tools. He even delved into the world of product reviewing, where he will pit cameras or camera equipment against their competitors to list their pros and cons and give his thoughts on which product would be best for what scenarios
