A graduate of the University of Bristol, Matt now works full-time as a freelance creative with a sharp focus on queer storytelling -often exploring psychology-driven narratives, character studies, and the fluidity of time and memory.A two-time winner at the National Youth Film Awards and recipient of the First Flights Film Fund (2025), Matt has directed six short films alongside numerous music videos, adverts, and experimental works.
