Matt is an adventure filmmaker and content creator with a diverse skill set, and an acute attention to detail.
MY STORY
From the moment I bought my first camera at 13 years old, I fell in love with the process of capturing, editing, and sharing what I had created with the world. Over the years, I have grown as a filmmaker and developed my skills in capturing the moments that matter most, and telling meaningful stories that evoke emotions. I have since had the privilege of working with many incredible people, businesses and brands all around the world.
ABOUT ME
Growing up at the coast, I naturally fell in love with the ocean and water sports. I am a previously sponsored sailor and kitesurfer, and I enjoy surfing, paragliding and free diving when the wind isn’t blowing.
