Matthew was born in the Central Valley, CA and he has loved watching and creating film all his life. During their childhood, Matthew and his older brother, Paul, would make horror movies on a Hi-8 video camera. Matthew would act in plays and in local student films. Influenced by his older brother, Matthew began writing and directing his own movies. Taking a D.I.Y. punk attitude towards filmmaking, Mathew shoots his projects fast, dirty and with absolutely no-budget!
