Dillon Wilson – SAG-AFTRA
1st & 2nd Unit Director, ‘Retired’ Stunt Coordinator and Lead Actor
Dillon Wilson is a US Army Veteran – Soldier Medic. He is also a visionary Director, Second Unit Director, ‘Retired’ Stunt Coordinator and Lead Actor with more than 10 years experience in the film industry. Starting his career as a professionally trained actor and skilled stunt performer, Dillon worked for years and then decided to go back and get more training/mentorship to become a professional stunt coordinator.
He then started C.B.T. Stunt Alliance, an Elite Tactical Stunt team specializing in playing Elite Military Operators (i.e. U.S. Army – DELTA FORCE, SEAL Team 6, S.W.A.T, etc.). Dillon acquired extensive experience in military / paramilitary / counter-terrorism training for use in film & TV over the years (see below). His team trained several times every week for years and were often hired to train actors & stunt performers in tactical firearms training and stunts for film & TV (Dillon usually being the lead instructor). Each of the members of CBT Stunt Alliance has went on to book amazing roles and enjoy wonderful careers.
Dillon then went on to get hired as a professional armorer for film & TV with 1 of the largest armorers in the US. He was trained in how to be a professional armorer by experts with more than 3 decades in the business. He is a Licensed/permitted Armorer for the film, TV and entertainment industry with the California Department Of Justice as well as has his Dangerous Weapons Permits (darn near impossible to get in California) with the California Department Of Justice.
After stunt coordinating for years with a variety of productions, Dillon got tired of directors butchering his work in post production, so he attended and graduated film school as a director. Since then Dillon has went on to become an award winning filmmaker. His awards include: 3 awards for ‘Best Feature Film’; 1 for ‘Best Anthology’; as well as 2 nominations for ‘Best Director’ and 1 nomination for ‘Best Stunt Coordinator’.
Productions loved working with Dillon because not only was he an experienced stunt coordinator yet also being a director he spoke their same language. Plus, he not only knew how to coordinate the action sequences yet how to shoot them for less money, in less time yet with the same or BETTER production value. These qualities made Dillon the ‘Go To’ stunt coordinator for his clients.
After years of working with productions as a stunt coordinator, he finally decided to make the transition to directing full time and has been passing all the stunt coordinating jobs to the other HIGHLY capable stunt coordinators on his stunt team.
After years of training actors and stunt performers in stunt training (more than 100+), plus getting many inquiries from people all over the world who were not able to travel to California to train with his stunt team, Dillon founded the C.B.T Stunt Alliance Online Action University to make it possible for aspiring actors and stunt performers around the world to be able to get a solid foundation in various types of stunt training for film & TV to be able to launch and grow their careers.
