Dylan Maranda (b.1994) is a Canadian filmmaker and photographer born and raised in Vancouver. Having had a close brush with a fatal illness in his late teens, his work often walks the ambiguous line between comfort and discomfort— The pursuit of the consciousness and subliminality he experienced during that time. His photography practice integrates the narrative filmmaking techniques he acquired from Simon Fraser University; by emphasizing specific sequencing, colour, and composition, his work accesses the underbelly of human existence.
