Hello, I’m Matt.

I’ve been working in Production in Northern Ireland since 2015, where I started as a Production Runner on Game of Thrones Season 6. Since then I have worked on dramas & features of various sizes, gaining as much experience as I can from each project, often by asking for more responsibility so that I could learn more, in order to help me reach my career goal of one day becoming a Producer.

In 2018 when I began working as an Assistant Production Coordinator, my role changed to include managing the scripts, implementing changes in Final Draft on behalf of the Writer & Producers, typing up changes memos and managing the distribution to Cast & Crew, which I have now done for every Production since. I enjoyed this aspect of the role so much, that I began to think about making it my full-time role as a Script Editor, most recently I completed a course with John Yorke “Story For Script Development”, in order to get some formal training to help me pursue this role.
