Tristan Turner grew up in Asheville, NC. From an early age Tristan had a fascination with cinema. During his time at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Tristan developed a passion for experimental cinema. Tristan Turner is now an M.A. student at UNCW and his new film work aims to combine the aesthetics of the past and current day in order to interrogate medium specificity, aesthetic limits, and futurism. Tristan has a fondness for 16mm film as well as digital imagery. In his work he blends the two until they merge into something both familiar and alien. Philosophically, Tristan believes that cinema is the most boundless platform of human expression. Everything is cinema.
