Dallas was schooled in Austria, his father a diplomat and his mother a cabaret singer. He received his first camera, a crank operated Spitzl 8 mm, from his grandfather the legendary documentarian Frizt Mauler, at the age of 9. Some say that since then he's spent more time looking through the lens than not and his films have to come to reflect a close attention to, but slightly skewed take on the relationship between man, woman and nature. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
