Jason Summerfield Wallace

Jason Summerfield Wallace is a graduate from Tufts University near Boston, MA. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Media Studies, he has a passion for storytelling through motion pictures. From experimenting with stop motion as a kid growing up in Charles City, VA to writing and directing his senior thesis film Citizens of Kattaquam (2024), he’s always been determined to translate stories from script to screen.

As a fan of 80s sci-fi/fantasy, such as Star Wars and Bladerunner, his films are working to bring back the intentionality that made the VFX in that era so astonishing. By replicating the techniques that these franchises used and merging them with modern, more nuanced narratives, he hopes to put the heart back into sci-fi/fantasy storytelling that he feels has been eroded over the years.
