Eye of the Storm Pictures inc. is a newly incorporated business operating in various realms of film and video production. The name evolved in 2003 out of the founder's fascination with thunder storms. Later, in 2005, it became a registered business and finally a corporation in June of 2006. The company is owned and operated by its founder, Tyler Williams, and does its main business in Toronto and the surrounding area. Eye of the Storm has a number of affiliates from many different areas of expertise that it works with regularly, many of which can be found in the links section.
Tyler Williams was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and currently resides in Toronto, Ontario.
With a devoted love for the martial arts and action films, Tyler always dreamed of one day being involved in the action film industry. He began seriously training in martial arts at age 13 when he discovered the mixed martial art Woo Gar Mo Sut. After being awarded his black belt after six years and the title of Si-fu after ten years he now works to expand his physical boundaries through Capoeira, gymnastics, stunts and staged combat.
Tyler was first able to explore his passion for filmmaking at age 16 when he took a Video Production course in high school. It quickly became clear to Tyler that filmmaking was his path. He made the decision to study film in university and graduated from Film Studies at Ryerson University in Toronto in 2006. Since then he has become the owner and operator of his own film production company, Eye of the Storm Pictures inc. and is a founding member of Riot A.C.T, a Toronto-based action creation and performance team. Riot A.C.T. and Eye of the Storm Pictures have become partners in the creation of a series of action-packed independent short films.
Tyler's short films have screened in numerous film festivals, won multiple awards and have aired on international television.
