C.E. Whitmore is the founder and director of WellerVision, an independent animation studio producing atmospheric short films through AI-assisted stop-motion techniques. Her work builds complete, inhabitable worlds - miniature places with their own logic, characters with histories that extend past the frame, and stories that bet on feeling over spectacle.

WellerVision's flagship short, Golden Foster, won Best MicroFilm at the 2026 Hollywood Best Indie Film Awards and earned a Best AI Film nomination at the London Director Talents Movie Awards. The film was Semi-Finalist in Animation at the New York Indie Shorts Awards, with Official Selections at the New York Film & Cinematography Awards, Tokyo Film & Screenplay Awards, and Los Angeles Movie & Music Video Awards.

The studio's catalog spans tonal range without losing authorial identity. Golden Foster is a dark fable set in Custard Cove, where characters audition for an experimental patisserie and discover that perfection is its own kind of trap. P3-180 Incident follows a flour-dusted intern through the industrial side of that same town. Shelf Life - an Official Selection at the AI Film 3 Festival - is a dark comedy about emotionally aware bread navigating the cobblestone streets of Custard Cove. Hollywood Vamp trades stop-motion warmth for painterly gothic glamour in a mansion that never left old Hollywood. And Egg (2026) drops three felted meerkats into a desert landscape where something glows and nobody knows what to do about it.

Whitmore also serves on the 2026 Jury for the Hollywood Best Indie Film Awards.

Whitmore's approach treats AI as a production medium, not a novelty. The tool is the medium. The work is what matters.

WellerVision is based in Europe and America.
