Hi there ! 

My name is Matthew,  I am an aspiring film maker and content creator on Youtube and Vimeo.

It has been a live long dream of mine to become a film director.Video games and films have always been a source of comfort and inspiration to me. 

Now that I am older and more educated in media production I'd like to give something back to the medium.
