About DWC Productions

United by their love of storytelling and craftsmanship, the trio brings characters to life through the meticulous art of stop-motion filmmaking. Each project is a labor of love, driven by passion, inventive storytelling, and the kind of patience that only animating frame-by-frame can demand. DWC strives to create memorable films that spark wonder, challenge convention, and inspire imagination across all ages. Whether capturing whimsical creatures in motion or unfolding emotionally resonant narratives, their work blends visual artistry with timeless themes.
A driving force behind DWC Productions, Edward Dunn approaches filmmaking as both a craft and a cultural dialogue. With a background that spans technical expertise and artistic symbolism, he brings a uniquely layered vision to every project. Edward is known for weaving dramatic twists and deeper meaning into his narratives—often embedding cultural, religious, or thematic undertones that reward thoughtful viewers. His creativity doesn’t stop at the screen: Edward has a talent for crafting evocative recipes, designing layered riddles, and developing interactive digital experiences that merge storytelling with engagement. Whether he’s troubleshooting lighting on a set or branding a character with a poetic name, Edward’s attention to detail is matched only by the depth of his imagination. His role at DWC is more than directorial—it’s foundational. He ensures every frame carries intention, every movement tells a story, and every viewer leaves with something unforgettable.
Michael Wardlow is the quiet current running deep through DWC Productions. While he shares Edward’s affinity for symbolism, design, and layered storytelling, Michael channels that creative energy with a focused intensity that gives DWC its backbone. His approach to filmmaking is methodical and deliberate, favoring clean structure, high standards, and a commitment to excellence that elevates every project. When others are riffing ideas, Michael is refining them—ensuring the storyline holds up, the pacing hits its mark, and the animation delivers emotional weight with technical clarity. His seriousness isn’t solemn; it’s empowering. It allows the team to dream big while staying grounded. Whether he’s engineering a stop-motion scene with razor-sharp detail or shaping a narrative arc that speaks across generations, Michael ensures DWC’s creations aren’t just imaginative—they’re unforgettable. He’s the stabilizing force that turns vision into reality and keeps the dream in motion, frame by frame.
In the quiet expanse of Chaparral, New Mexico, where open skies meet dusty trails, Bill Caviler lives on a lively farm filled with chickens, rabbits, two loyal dogs, and—his absolute favorite—ducks🦆. His connection to animals and rural life is all part of gentle soul and observational eye he brings to DWC Productions. Bill has a gift for grounding stories in warmth and authenticity. Whether he's designing whimsical characters or adding jokes to funny scenes, there's always a touch of rustic charm in his work. His appreciation for patience—honed from early mornings and feathered companions—makes him a natural at stop-motion animation, where every frame counts and every movement tells a story. Bill's perspective keeps the team rooted; he reminds DWC that storytelling isn't just about spectacle, but also about the quiet moments that resonate. With one hand in the feed bucket and the other sketching out the next great scene, Bill blends country wisdom with creative brilliance. The ducks approve.
Our mission is to make memorable films that inspire imagination in all ages.
