Skye Wallin

For over a decade, Skye has been deeply immersed in the worlds of documentary, journalism, and activism. While receiving his BA from Denison University, Skye spent a semester abroad studying film at the prestigious film academy FAMU in Prague and later received his MFA in Screenwriting at Spalding University. He spent several years filming with scientists and activists at more than 20 water-related disasters across the United States — including the tar sands oil spill in Mayflower, Arkansas, the coal ash spill in North Carolina's Dan River, and the Flint, Michigan drinking water disaster. Skye worked closely with Mark Ruffalo on this project, leading video and short documentary production in alliance with his organization Water Defense for 3 years. Skye's work helped to expose multiple water pollution scandals. Skye most recently directed and produced the documentary, American Gadfly, which follows the teenagers who ran the presidential campaign of the late 89-year-old Senator Mike Gravel. The film is being distributed by Gravitas Ventures in 2022. He is currently working on a documentary series about the water contamination crisis.
