Shelby Dillon
As a filmmaker and photographer, Shelby Dillon’s art is either a single frame from a film, a moving photograph or both. Her artistic work focuses on the construction and deconstruction of characters that she encounters in real life and within herself. She writes, directs, edits, and photographs her work herself. She graduated from Wesleyan University with a BA in Film Studies in 2016 and has been working with moving and still images ever since. Her photography has been exhibited internationally and published internationally, and her short films have been screened across the US.
