I'm Matt.
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to create stories. When I was six years old, I would draw and color pages of characters, staple them together, and share them at school. I've become a passionate writer and storyteller, having worked for over half a decade on bringing my own short films and writing projects to life.
​
I bring a wide knowledge of narrative tools used across various media forms, as well as years of experience in applying said knowledge to screenplays, novels, fan games, and cinematic short films. I'm a graduate of the California State University of Sacramento with a bachelor's in Film Production. I've studied extensively on narrative theory, story structure, and world-building.
