Originally from Kaysville, Wil is thrilled to return to Southern Utah. He spent four years in Cedar City earning a BA in Theatre Arts from SUU with an emphasis on Directing and Shakespeare Studies. He recently completed his MFA in Film and Media Arts at the University of Utah, focusing on Utah’s cinematic identity and its potential as a backdrop for innovative storytelling.

As a filmmaker, Wil is one half of the directing duo known as the Aud Brothers, specializing in fun and strange genre cinema, including sci-fi, westerns, and horror. Beyond his creative work, he loves cooking, playing games, and going on big walks with his wife, Rio, and their dog, Crunchwrap. Now, with a return to the performing arts, Wil can’t wait to contribute to Kayenta’s vibrant and growing artistic community.
