Cole Walliser: One Way Ticket from Canada, Getting Sponsored at 14, and becoming Director of Glambot
Cole Walliser was already a multi-hyphenate when he moved to LA from Canada; he danced, wrote, and more, switching between his various skills to pay his bills while pursuing his dreams in the City of Stars. Cole is best known for directing celebrities on the red carpet for slo-mo video portraits for Glambot, but also works on other projects, including his own coffee company called Cafe Colione.
