Making films with a small budget, a small crew, and big ideas.

Dylan Trail is a filmmaker born in Salem, VA. He started as a film student for an after school film program run by his local independent theatre. Shortly after graduating high school, he found a passion for not just filmmaking, but specifically what can be done without a large scale cast and crew. All thanks to advancements in technology making high end gear and equipment more accessible and affordable than ever before. Finding charm in what can be achieved not only with accessible equipment but hard work, simple trial and error to learn and improve from each project, creative story telling, and help from friends and colleagues driven by willpower and passion alone for the sake of expression.
