Biography

Matthew is a writer, director and producer hailing from London. With South African and Persian dual heritage, his projects often explore identity through relationships. His work has been featured on the BBC, at BIFA qualifying film festivals, and online at Grazia, NME, Buzzfeed, Vimeo, and FilmShortage. 

His 2018 short film Obolus was picked up for development by production company Grey Matter after Eric Heisserer (Arrival, Bird Box) watched the film online and asked to see a feature-length adaptation of the idea. Matthew continues to develop his slate of short and feature-length scripts to take further into development and production. 

As a photographer, Matthew has shot album artwork and press shots for many emerging and established musicians, with his work published in several online magazines and articles. His portraiture evokes a sense of story and intrigue, which he often finds feeds into his commercial work. 

Matthew is a BAFTA Connect member and is working towards his first long-form documentary, The Circlemakers, based on his 2023 short film.
