C.E. Whitmore is an award-winning filmmaker and founder of WellerVision, an independent animation studio building tactile worlds in latent space. Her feature in development, The Last Waltz, a murder mystery told in pink noir, is a Finalist at the Dreamina AI Animation International Summit at the 66th Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
Her work builds complete, inhabitable worlds - places with their own logic, characters with histories, and visual textures you want to touch.
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.
Whitmore's latest short, Egg, was selected for the inaugural Cinema Shift Festival in Toronto and named a Finalist at the AIMA AI Movie Awards in Mallorca.
The studio's catalog spans tonal range. 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. Shelf Life — an Official Selection at the AI Film 3 Festival — is a dark comedy about emotionally aware bread that must fulfill its destiny and be eaten. Hollywood Vamp trades stop-motion warmth for painterly gothic glamour. And Egg drops three felted meerkats into a desert landscape where something glows and nobody knows what to do about it.
Whitmore serves on the 2026 Jury for the Hollywood Best Indie Film Awards and the Los Angeles Movie & Music Video Awards.
WellerVision is based in Europe and America.
