Hello Everyone,

My name is Tim DIlbeck. I’m a set painter from Southern California. I recently graduated from West Los Angeles College’s Film production program and made it through Hollywood CPR. I am a new member of IATSE Local 729 Set Painter and Sign Writers as of December. Most of you might know me from the many projects I’ve been involved in at AFI and USC.

Recently my luck has run out and I have struggled to secure enough work to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. It’s a scary time and I am very worried I cannot take care of my son. He is ok and still has his mother. I cannot lose him, he is everything to me. I’m trying to stay positive, fighting off depression and anxiety over my situation. I cannot wait to get back to work! I think I have value through my craft of painting and other skills.

I also have paintings to sell and set building skills I have acquired through my experiences. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Tim Dilbeck
