Three Umbrella Films was founded by writer-director Dylan Gary as a home for emotionally complex, character-driven stories…the kinds of films increasingly overlooked in an industry oriented toward franchises and established IP over original, filmmaker-driven storytelling.
Through disciplined budgets, a blend of established and emerging talent, and distribution strategies built around each film’s distinct audience, Three Umbrella Films aims to create a sustainable home for challenging, deeply human cinema.
