Summary
Many of you may know Dylan as being the brother to Zac, but what you may not know is that Dylan has established a career unbelievably for himself in Hollywood in all different directions, in a lot of directions behind the camera. Dylan has been part of film crews on movies such as A Star is Born, Ready: Player One, Unforgettable, American Sniper, Get Hard, Jersey Boys, and much more. In addition to his behind the scenes crew work, Dylan has started working on various projects including his venture with his brother on the hit Netflix series, Down to Earth!
Dylan dives in bringing his dog everywhere, his shift from economics to film, and how he stands apart from his brother in the industry. He highlights the importance of internships, hands-on experience, and behind-the-scenes roles, along with his stunts work and memorable celebrity encounters. Dylan shares how he was offered a year’s salary for a single script, why he left a secure 9-to-5 studio job, and how he stopped chasing qualifications in favor of following his passions. He also discusses the differences between freelance film work and studio jobs, working with sponsors on social media, and the importance of trusting a team that wants you to succeed.
Dylan unveils all this and so much more in an episode you can’t afford to miss!
