Hi, I’m Dallin.
I’m a filmmaker and multimedia journalist based in New York City. I pursue stories that highlight the resilience of communities as they grieve and heal in the midst of adversity. I have come to recognize that my journalistic calling lies in conveying the wisdom, sorrow, and hope that communities are willing to share.
I’ve worked for publications such as Brut America, NBC, KQED, FRONTLINE PBS, NOVA PBS, POV, and have contributed to Emmy nominated and winning projects. I was a 2023 Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellow, and I’m currently a staff producer and cinematographer for The News Movement.
I received my master’s degree from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, and hold a bachelor’s degree in sociology and writing from UC Santa Barbara.
