Remington Dewan is a college senior, Trustee Scholar, in Film Production at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. With a decade of student film awards and festivals experience, Remington is currently writing two screenplays while attending his final semester of college and working at the USC Shoah Foundation where he digitizes and restores interviews with Holocaust survivors.
Previously, Remington worked as an intern with MPower Pictures where he read coverage, assisted on location shoots, assisted editing in post-production, prepared accounting reports, attended premieres, and yes, made coffee and kept the refrigerator stocked.
Remington became an active part of the Austin film community prior to moving to Los Angeles. At age 12, his script the Dragon Scroll won the Austin Film Festival’s Best Screenplay for Middle School, where he met Terry Rossio, who advised him to pick up a camera and shoot and direct. A few short years later, his short, First Day at the Firm, won 5 awards at film festivals (including the Newport Beach Film Festival), and another film, The Lemonade Stand, won the Young Filmmaker’s Award in national competition.
Remington started his education ironically as a teenage actor. Working as an actor on the film Balls Out, earned him SAG eligibility and a rare opportunity to work with Los Angeles professionals in cast and crew, which made him determined to tell stories as a filmmaker. He graduated from St. Stephen’s Episcopal School in Austin, TX, the alma mater of another film storyteller, Terrence Mallick.
Remington continues operating his video company, Dewan Bros. Entertainment, which captures stories and performances for television, theatre groups, and non-profits, and handles editing on an ad-hoc basis for overloaded production companies.
