Matthew M. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Hey! My name is Matthew, and I'm a film and business student at Northwestern University— originally from Houston, Texas. I knew I had to work in Hollywood ever since I saw Game of Thrones in high school, and haven't looked back since!

I started shooting videos in my eighth grade "TV" class, and learned the basics of screenwriting, shot listing, cinematography, sound recording, editing, and directing in high school (I even did some acting too!). It's my passion to guide others through this same introductory stage, plus all of the tips from college that I wish I knew when I started. I'm grateful to have been apart of the 2021 All American High School Film Festival Official Selection for my short film, Midnight Snack.

At Northwestern, my organizational skills, self-discipline, and attention to detail have led me to the business side of filmmaking. I'm proud to have produced the feature length film MIXED SIGNALS with the student-run production company Applause for a Cause, and to be the Co-President of Northwestern's oldest student-run production company, Studio 22. It's my dream to work on the same projects that inspired me at a talent agency, production company, or media company later in my career.

Otherwise, I'm passionate about living a healthy lifestyle, self-improvement, growth mindset, reading, absolutely any HBO original series, and Texas BBQ! In my free time you can find me lifting weights, scrolling through Yelp, catching up on industry news, and counting down the days until George R.R. Martin releases The Winds of Winter— I need my signed copy!
