C.T. Wallin
“Something about your films gives me calm despair,” was a text message I received. This is fitting as I often attempt to explore the moral complexities of human nature with a sense of levity, honesty, and self-reflection. Whether through film, audio, music, or interactive media, I try to present ideas that feel both personal and universal in hopes of tapping into our shared yet varied experience. Most importantly, I just like making stuff.

Teaching Philosophy
My primary goal as an educator is to encourage students to discover and explore their own artistic voice. I try to create a supportive learning environment where students can develop their craft through experimentation, failure, and critical feedback.
