Dylan Rhys Howard, hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, has carved a niche for himself in the realm of independent filmmaking. His short film, *Peak Oil* (2018), stands out as a collector's gem, having garnered accolades such as the Alberta Motion Picture Industries Association award for Best Narrative Short. Its selection for Telefilm Canada’s Not Short On Talent program and screening at prestigious festivals like Clermont-Ferrand adds to its desirability among film aficionados who appreciate evocative storytelling. Howard's documentary work has equally captivated audiences, especially with *Digging In The Dirt* (2019), which explores the somber realities of depression in Alberta's oil sector. The film's premiere on CBC Television and its feature in the Hot Docs’ Spotlight Alberta series solidified its place in the Canadian documentary landscape. Collectors are particularly keen on Howard's latest project, *Eudaimonia*, his debut feature film set for festival release in 2024, which promises to further elevate his status in the physical media community as a filmmaker of thought-provoking narratives.
