In my own words
— MattI have worked as a cinematographer, editor, and producer in the action sports industry for 16 years.
My goal is to create content that is not only visually stimulating, but that also brings out the emotion of the viewer and tells the whole story. I started off my career in the surf industry and over time it has blossomed into creating content for a wide range of acton sports. Mountain Biking, Surfing, Skating, FMX, Wake boarding, Snowboarding, Rally car, and MMA are not only sports I enjoy watching, but have been fortunate enough to have been able to shoot and produce fresh content diving deep into the lives of these professional athletes.
