Hey!

It’s Matt. For the last 10 years, I’ve been shooting, editing, and directing projects professionally and personally. I have experience leading other creatives and helping them grow. I like cultivating good working relationships because it leads to the best work and it also just makes life better.

Sometimes I like to change my perspective by being upside down for a second.

Other times I like to pause and reflect like my hero, AOC.

And every once in a while, I like to have fun on the dance floor.

  • As a semi-finalist in the 2018 CineStory TV Retreat, I received three one-on-one, one and a half hour sessions with working TV and movie writers. During those sessions, these mentors gave feedback on improving the craft of my scripts and discussed the various aspects of the business of TV writing.

    I also got to experience what it’s like to sit in a professional writers room run by an experienced mentor.

    I was invited to attend based on the strength of my spec script for Master of None and original 1-hour TV pilot.
