Malwan Studio was founded by filmmaker Dïon Wyn, who won an RTS award in 2022 for the short film, ‘Y Lein: Streic Friction Dynamics’, which covers the historic injustice of the nearly 1,000-day Friction Dynamics (Ferodo) strike in the Caernarfon area in 2001. Following this success, Dïon Wyn was nominated for the Rising Star award by the RTS in 2024.
