The Relatively Short, Not-All-That-Strange Trip of DDT

David Dylan Thomas is a writer/filmmaker living in Philadelphia. He started out in the video world, making a documentary about all of the rock bands at his high school. As an undergrad at JHU, he completed a short doc about college life called Zoo JHU. After graduating with a degree in Writing Seminars (one year shy of Hopkins creation of a Film Major!) he began volunteering on numerous independent shoots around Baltimore. In 1998 he completed his first 16mm short, The Least Dangerous Game. Three years later he completed his first feature, All Night Thing. While retooling and generally pimping this effort, he created his first blog, “Confessions of an Indie Filmmaker.” Around this time he also began writing monthly movie previews, which were ultimately picked up by Freewilliamsburg.com. In 2003, Thomas completed his first digital short, Attack of the Bobbleheads. The next year, he began writing in earnest, delivering content to five different publications, not including his own blog: Filmcritic.com, Freewilliamsburg.com, Bigyawn.net, PAW Print, and Blogcritics.org. Today, Thomas continues to live, write, and film in Philadelphia. By day, he’s also the Coordinator of Multimedia Services at La Salle University.
