Born 1970
As a child growing up in New England, Matt wanted to be an illustrator and cartoonist. When he wasn't expressing himself with pencil and paper, he'd spend afternoons knocking back Cokes with friends and enjoying such cinema wonders as The Empire Strikes Back and Superman II. In high school and college he got involved in film and video. It wasn't long before he was hooked. After becoming a regular fixture at his local access station, he wrote and directed Donut World: Just Say No, a short-form video PSA-parody which received a Massachusetts Cable Television Commission Award.

At Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire he met his compadres at thefilmbasement.com and studied film and screenwriting while appearing on the cable access comedy show After Dark. His time at Keene State inspired him to write the full length screenplay Lie, Cheat and Steal, which may or may not be coming to a theater near you, depending upon whether or not Matthew hits the lottery.

Matthew was the co-founder of low-budget-video group Rage Warehouse Productions and is seeking agency representation as an actor/writer/director.
