I DON'T JUST TELL STORIES. I PUSH THEM BEYOND.
Dremaceo Giles is a Houston-based filmmaker, editor, colorist, illustrator, and writer - a creator who has never fit neatly into one box. Trained at NYU Film, Giles was first inspired by the raw, punk ethos of Hong Kong cinema before finding a kindred spirit in Robert Rodriguez’s guerrilla-filmmaking masterpiece El Mariachi. By the time Giles discovered the film, he was already heavily steeped in counter-culture thinking — but El Mariachi confirmed that films could be made outside the system, sparking him to shoot his first feature.
That spirit still drives his work today. From editing nonprofit docuseries for organizations like BakerRipley, Houston Methodist, and the Council on Recovery, to crafting corporate and design content for brands including Nike, Walmart, and Samsung, Giles moves fluidly between the professional and the avant-garde. His obsession is the moment: capturing authenticity so raw it becomes indistinguishable from lived experience.
Influenced by boundary-pushing artists like Salvador Dalí, Björk, and Lars von Trier, Giles believes storytelling innovation is far from dead - it’s waiting in the spaces where form, philosophy, and feeling collide. His work across mediums isn’t just about delivering a message; it’s about creating new experiences that audiences haven’t lived before.
His path has always been unorthodox. He's acted alongside Johnny Knoxville in The Dukes of Hazzard, stunt-coordinated DMX’s iconic music video Party Up, and was immortalized in comic form in Ex Machina by Brian K. Vaughn - the Eisner Award-winning creator of Y: The Last Man and Saga, and head writer of TV’s Lost. Whether directing, editing, illustrating, or writing, Giles is a maverick creator who builds worlds where art, film, and philosophy collide - and where the only rule is to push storytelling beyond the expected.
