At Wondros, Dylan and the collective of storytellers focus on exploring and explaining innovative projects and people. A film for The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which explains the Large Hadron Collider, led to Fast Company naming Dylan one of the Most Creative People of 2010.[4]

Dylan curated the iParticipate campaign for the Entertainment Industry Foundation. He also directed public service announcements, including a print campaign, for Stand up to Cancer (SU2C.org), an organization committed to fostering collaboration in cancer research.[7] He produced eight 30-second PSAs for the 2010 Rock the Vote Vote Fearlessly Campaign.[8]

He produced the film for director Stacy Peralta who premiered it at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Dylan also produced and directed an original television series, “CONversations with Ricky Jay,” which was built around sleight of hand artist Ricky Jay.[9]
