Terran Boylan is more interesting than you'll ever be.

Technically a baby boomer but metacontextually less well-defined, Terran began his illustrious life in Omaha, Nebraska. He then meandered his way through New York City, Los Angeles, and several academic disciplines, collecting a bachelor’s in computer engineering, a master’s in art, a research assistantship in mechanical engineering, and a creative writing certificate from UCLA. He holds (but regrettably does not own) two patents in computer character animation, produced a national-award-winning graduate thesis TV show, and created a commercial animation system once dubbed by a major industry magazine the “Swiss Army knife of computer animation software.” He has presented multiple times at prestigious professional conferences, self-published ten books in eight different genres (including a coloring book), sung onstage in a community theater musical, and remains among the ever-dwindling number of souls who have seen Elvis Presley perform in concert.

I consider intuition to be my greatest strength - that subtle energy that guides me and allows me to read life as a journey of constant evolution.
Each experience was an opportunity to expand my perspective and explore new ways of storytelling. I’ve always felt the need to leave a subtle trace, a loving intention behind every project, a message that connects beyond the screen.
Today, I can clearly see how every experience, every step in my path, has aligned with precision to shape who I am.For me, audiovisual language has become a channel for healing, deep connection, and collective memory, a way of touching the invisible through the visible.
