Dwight is a 49-year veteran of collecting and has exhibited in the Norton Museum as well as at Poster House, New York City, highlighting women behind the camera during the silent film era. The British publication Art of the Movies has called him the “Indiana Jones of Movie Posters.” He has been named Associate Visual Curator in the Department of Film and Media Studies at Dartmouth College. In 2023, Dwight established the Frederica Sagor Maas Followship at Columbia University, which supports historical research on women artists from the silent film industry.
