She also produced and acted in Mr. Kolpert, a black comedy about suburban alienation.

Angel's Perch

In 2013, Dilts produced the movie Angel's Perch. "Tired of waiting for the phone to ring,"[2] she and her husband, writer and producer J.T. Arbogast, decided to make the film themselves.

They crowdfunded their budget[3] and went on to successfully self-distribute their movie.[4]

Shot in Pocahontas County, West Virginia,[5] the film is about a young architect dealing with his grandmother's Alzheimer's disease. The film has been applauded for dealing with issues of Alzheimer's and aging in a warm and life-affirming way.[6]

The film stars Joyce Van Patten, J.T. Arbogast, Ally Walker, Ashley Jones, Ellen Crawford, and a supporting cast of West Virginia actors. It was directed by Charles Haine.[7]
