A graduate of the Tisch Film program at New York University, with a dual-major in art history, Klinkon brings a multidisciplinary artistic background to his filmmaking. His visual language stems from a wide-ranging appreciation of the arts. He is also an accomplished writer, named NYU’s Herman J. Wechsler Research Scholar in Fine Arts and serving as editor of the art-historical journal Ink and Image. His thesis on Cubist painting and French modernist architecture awaits upcoming publication.
