About

Dallas Harden is an award-winning filmmaker from the Inland Empire of California and is currently located in West Los Angeles. For over a decade, he has produced, written, directed, edited, and acted in more than 100 projects in collaboration with his colleagues, students, and industry professionals.

Dallas graduated from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) with a degree in Theatre, Film & Digital Production (TFDP) and a focus in Screenwriting. A year later, he returned to work for the TFDP Department as a Film Department Manager, working closely with the department’s Production Manager, faculty, staff, professors, and frequent guest to the campus, Dean Cundey, A.S.C. (Jurassic Park, Back to the Future trilogy, Halloween). He managed UC Riverside’s film equipment room, facilitated the Acting for the Camera class, and assisted students in hundreds of film projects around campus. During the summer of 2019, Dallas directed A Private Screening for the Summer Department Film — a quarterly production the film department produces for students to understand the experience of working on a professional set.

Currently, Dallas provides Business and Legal Affairs assistance at MRC Film, including for the upcoming projects The Blackening, Fair Play, Self Reliance, Saltburn, and many more. Dallas has also previously worked at William Morris Endeavor (WME) as a Talent Assistant to A-List clientele in Beverly Hills, CA.

Dallas is a theme park enthusiast and enjoys visiting Disneyland year-round and Universal Studios, especially during Halloween Horror Nights. You can find him at the cinema almost every week, catching the latest releases to stay tapped into the social zeitgeist. His hobbies and interests include music, psychology, sociology, food/menu collecting, museums, repertory film screenings, comics, and WWE.

DTH PICTURES
In 2013, Dallas formed DTH Pictures, a company where he could create his own work and foster the talent of other locals. By guiding their creativity and passion for filmmaking, he has successfully helped bring their work to the screen. His goal for DTH Pictures is to create bold, original, and innovative content that stirs conversation and elicits audience reaction. This mission statement has guided the company to success every year with thousands of views on social media and recognition from world-renowned film festivals, including over a dozen awards.

In 2019, DTH Pictures expanded its team to include students from UC Riverside, with the intent to guide them on a path to becoming executives and producers of their own content. Their latest two short films, Can’t Dance Crew: a dance-comedy, and Selfie: a slasher-horror film, were their most successful films to date. Selfie had its Los Angeles premiere during Screamfest (the same festival that found Paranormal Activity) in the TCL Chinese Theatre and is now on their YouTube channel with over 140,000+ views. Can’t Dance Crew was nominated for numerous awards including Best Ensemble Cast & Best Comedy Short (IndieX Film Fest), was a quarter-finalist (Sunscreen Film Fest West), and won Best Comedy Short (Prestige Film Festival).
