Dylan Goodwin grew up in a small town in the Tidewater region of
Virginia called Carrsville. Movies had always been a big part of his
life. As a boy, you could easily find him enthralled with "The Wizard
of Oz" for the hundredth time. However pursuing the idea of making them
came much later. James Cameron's "Titanic" made him realize the
potential of cinema, but it wasn't until high school when "The Lord of
the Rings Trilogy" made it a dream.
Dylan enrolled into the School of the Arts program at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia where he grew as an artist. Once he was accepted into the Film Department after the Art Foundation program (well over 100 applied, 12 accepted) he began to devour the power of filmmaking. Absorbing all the classics, experimental, documentary, and most obscure of films, Dylan began making movies.
Being that the department was so small, Dylan offered to act in his colleagues' films which lead to an unexpected interest. He enjoyed expressing himself through performance. So the second half of his junior year he enrolled in a theater class, Introduction to Stage Performance. That class became the class to look forward to. His teacher, Sarah Yount, pushed him to audition for plays, saying, "You have more talent than you know."
The following first semester of his senior year he auditioned for and was cast as 6 characters in the dramatic ensemble piece, "The Laramie Project." That gave Dylan the taste of the stage and he wanted more. The following semester which would be his last at VCU he was awarded the part of Doc in the Vietnam play "Tracers." A short but impressionable role with humor and sensitivity.
The spring of 2009 presented Dylan with great changes. Not only was he graduating from VCU, he took his first steps toward a career. He caught wind of a project that was coming to Suffolk, Va (not far from his own town of Carrsville) that was to be directed by non other than James Franco. The project was "Herbert White," James' NYU Grad student adaptation short film. Dylan leaped at the opportunity, pulled some strings, and was brought on board as Boom Operator.
After an incredible experience and meeting such talented, open, and willing people, Dylan agreed to jump onto the next project to be shot two months later in New York City ("Shadows and Lies"). There Dylan's apartment fell into his lap and has been working with the Rabbit Bandini crew ever since. Projects like, "The Clerk's Tale," "The Broken Tower," "Maladies," and "Child of God."
