David Nelson Dillehunt (born April 5, 1984, in Charlottesville, Virginia) is an American film director, television producer and composer.[1]

Career

[edit]

Dillehunt is best known as the director of You Can't Do That on Film,[2][3] the 2004 documentary about the cult-classic children's series, You Can't Do That on Television. The film was released in North America by Shout! Factory in 2012[4] and reissued in 2022 by MVD Entertainment.[5] Dillehunt also directed the official YCDTOTV reunion special, Project 131,[6] and was a contributor to the book, Slimed!: An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age, by Mathew Klickstein.[7]

He produced and directed the interstitial cooking show, Super-Naturally Healthy Kids!, which aired globally on Smile and Saturday mornings on TBN from 2009-2019,[8][9] and produced the limited series, Super-Naturally Healthy with Joanna Faillace, which aired nationally on the NRB Network in 2010.[10][11] Other notable works include the 2007 televised radio program, Midnight Barbecue,[12][13] the 2008 sketch comedy film, Craptastic,[14] and the 2011 music documentary, We Are Astronomers, which held its world premiere at the Virginia Film Festival.[15][16]

Dillehunt has released ten albums and five EPs of original music[17] and is a founding member of the indie rock band Butterfly Vendetta.[18][19] The band was referenced on the cover of the 2018 book, Regarding Charlottesville Music, by photographer and author Rich Tarbell, and in a portrait spread featuring band member, Bianca Vee.[20] Dillehunt chronicled the band in an eponymous 2018 documentary.[21] The film was nominated in the Award This! Music Documentary category for the seventh annual Award This! ceremony, held by Film Threat.[22]

He is currently the Head of Multimedia Services for the City of Charlottesville, and manages the Charlottesville PEG-TV station group and Community Media Center.[23] He was nominated for a Capital Emmy Award in May 2013 and May 2021 for his work with the department.[24][25] Dillehunt was inducted into the Albemarle High School Alumni Association Hall of Fame in May 2023.[26]
