Ian Barling

I am a recent graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara. My two majors, film and media studies and philosophy, reflect my two fascinations – imagery and writing. These two fascinations naturally converge to foster the growth of my passion and obsession – storytelling. With the intellectual and technological knowledge garnered thus far, I have developed a constant, yet ever-growing urge to share confidently with the world my evolving view of it. As experience continues to sharpen my craft, my subjective impressions of the people, places, and ideas around me will manifest in increasingly meaningful, powerful, and complex ways. Above all, contemplation, observance, and genuine curiosity propel my desire and excitement to learn, and improve. I see no alternative to pursuing storytelling as a lifelong commitment, a lifelong obsession.
