Wall grew up in East County, San Diego.[1] He graduated from Santana High School in 1995[2] and moved to Maine for a brief period[1] before settling in Escondido, California.[2]
Wall began his career in film after working on music videos.[2] He primarily focuses on short film productions because they are much easier to make on a financial level.[1]
Wall started planning his project Zero: Dawn of the Darklighters in 2015, based on his 2014 film.[3] In 2018, his film Daisy Belle screened at Oceanside International Film Festival, winning multiple Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards at National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and Best Local Film at San Diego International Film Festival.[1]
Wall considers Oscar Wilde and Steven Spielberg to have the most influence on his work.[2]
