Dvolver begins with Dfilm. Dfilm was a digital film festival and a pioneer of the early web years. Dvolver's founder, Ben Rigby, joined Dfilm as chief technical officer in the late 90s. As technical officer, Ben's first task was to redesign Dfilm's website and to find a compelling way to promote the festival. During a brainstorm meeting, Ben devised the "MovieMaker" concept - it would be an easy to use tool for creating and sending online movies. With the backing of Dfilm's talented design and management team, the MovieMaker became a reality and soon became more popular than the festival. Over two million visitors made movies in the first month. It was a blow away success.

As digital filmmaking became the standard, Dfilm shifted focus from the festival towards making viral communications software similar to the MovieMaker. In 2001, Dfilm launched "SMAC," a cartoon based messaging system for mobile phones (which launched on Holland's IMode system). Dfilm's funds ran dry in the tough tech-bust years and the company went into a period of stasis. Then, in 2007, Ben purchased dfilm.com and started Dvolver - a company inspired by the work of Dfilm. Dvolver creates creativity widgets - software that enables people to creatively communicate using internet technologies.
