DILLON M. HAYES

I am first and foremost an advocate -- an advocate for the arts, for education, and for community-building. As a visual story-teller, I have an obligation to advance those fields through making them accessible to the public. Ideas, art, and action create progress. I'm here to help document that progress.

Having independently created music videos, short films, and documentary pieces on little to no budget, I've learned the value of relying on creativity, collaboration, and patience to create works that best represent the values of the client and myself.

I'm a native Kansan who recently relocated to Birmingham, AL, after having lived in the Heartland for over 23 years. As I continue to grow as a traveler and collaborator, I hope to work with filmmakers and artists across the United States to create an even greater network of creative spirits.
