Matthew is no stranger to cinematography. Having spent over 10 years as a photographer it was only natural for him to make the transition into film. It was his father’s love for the art that initially encouraged him to pick up his first camera, the Canon AE-1.
As a photographer, Matt spent his time understanding composition, light, and story-telling through imagery. The love for the trade truly came through in his work. In addition to photography and cinematography, Matt has also spent time learning a unique art form called Time-Lapse. His work has been featured on NBC and used in many films.
Over the years this combination of technical skills and passion has taught him the importance of connecting with the audience and creating an emotional experience for them.

Over the past year, I have been going to L.A. and shooting different locations. During this time I have grown very fond of this city. I find it interesting that human behavior is the same, regardless of if people are walking or driving. I have noticed many things about this town spending as much time as I have out there. If you know anything about time lapse you know that it can sometimes take one hour to capture 20 seconds of footage. That gives you plenty of time to enjoy the sites. I realize now that this project will never be complete. In the future I plan on adding another layer by recording the sounds of Los Angeles. But for the time being I hope you enjoy this small film.
Bridge - Fear can hold you back, Hope can set you free
The demolition of Mulholland Drive Bridge, a famous 60 year old stretch of road. The shoot turned into a sleepless, all night event.
