I've been making movies since high school. When my friends and I took over the morning announcements, we saw an opportunity to make short films for a captive audience...and by that, I mean an audience that literally HAD to watch; the entire school was held hostage by our silliness. Out of necessity, I learned the basics of filmmaking: acting, writing, directing, editing, visual effects, scoring...you name it; I was the Robert Rodriguez of morning announcements.

All of these skills came in handy when I attended the University of Miami's film school. After making the leap to Los Angeles, I've continued to hone my craft by working in the editing room for studio films like "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "The Muppets", on the sets of films like "The Hangover Part III" and as a Producer for ESPN. All the while, I continue to write, direct and edit my own films.

With "user_" I wanted to make a modern version of "When a Stranger Calls" using the devices with which we interact daily. We made it for no money and using only mobile phones; a nice change of pace from the usual complicated and busy sets. The final result speaks for itself as a fun, creepy little movie.

Called one of the "hardest working actors in show business” by Entertainment Weekly magazine, Matt has been working as an actor on stage and in front of the camera for over 30 years—with leading roles on many celebrated cable shows like Cinemax’s “Banshee”, Showtime’s “Brotherhood” and--more recently—playing Gov. Sweeney on “Billions”. However, he is probably best known for his role as FBI Agent Dwight Harris on HBO’s “The Sopranos”—a role he played for all 7 seasons and for which he won a SAG Award in 2007 as a member of the “Best Dramatic Ensemble”. Matt has recently turned his focus and talents to working behind the camera—writing and directing for both TV (Adult Swim) and film, including the award winning shorts “Matthew” and “Good Head” and the new feature film “A Town Called Purgatory”.
