ABOUT:

Undergrad degree from Pepperdine University in Theatre Directing and a Film Directing degree from the Los Angeles Film School with minors in Cinematography and sound design.  Years of indie film in L.A. and then Austin, TX where I currently live with my wife and daughter.  Co-Founder of Matter Media Studios.

Why:

Matt is driven by the idea that thoughts shape culture, that the arts and hope shape stories that inspire, challenge, frighten and provoke… Matt is driven by the idea that story, like the greatest parables, both challenge and fulfill us… He loves working with people like a family driving towards a crazy end in a medium that can’t be done by just one person and needs people of all walks of life to bring it to fruition.  He is driven by the fact that film is alive and an organism in search of light, in search of food and shelter.. and maybe an ear to bend.  He is driven by the fact that we are all searching, all looking and all fighting for truth, reason, heroes and shadows.  He also likes coloring on the floor with his daughter.
