Dylan is an ocean conservationist and aspiring natural history documentary filmmaker with a particular interest in (but not limited to) ocean storytelling. His work has been primarily UK based telling independent stories in collaboration with conservation organisations above and below the waves.

​​

With a strong background in Biology from the University of Southampton and an understanding of documentary storytelling from being selected as a 2026 Grierson DocLab New Entrant Trainee, he is now eager to take his career further.

 

He hopes to do this by collaborating with UK conservationists, learning from creative industry professionals, and developing his ability to communicate stories that resonate with people and inspire them to appreciate the wildlife on their doorsteps.

​

Having taken part in several prestigious development training schemes since 2024, all aimed at improving access to the creative industries, he has developed a strong belief that it is often a lack of access, rather than ability, that limits opportunity.

​

He hopes to continue developing as an underwater cinematographer and videographer, but most importantly, to tell stories that allow people to experience the natural world vicariously and appreciate the richness and diversity of life closer to home. He wants to show that people don’t have to travel far to experience a rich marine environment, inspiring them to protect our oceans. After all, if people don’t know what’s living in the waters on their doorstep, how can they be expected to appreciate it and want to protect it?
