About

"When I hired Matt to analyse a couple of animated feature scripts for me, I was extremely impressed with his reports. They were carefully considered, tactful and even offered potential solutions or alternative routes to illustrate where something wasn’t firing. I would thoroughly recommend Matt for script coverage, as he also values the experience to further his craft of screenwriting." – Steve Box (Academy Award winning Writer & Director for Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit). 

Screenwriter & Script Consultant.

Currently working in development on an animation project.

Writer on psychological drama short ‘Hard to Heart’ – scheduled for release late 2018.
