Filmmaker Spotlight: Matthew Allen
Matthew is a director, editor, and producer whose work is driven by feeling, collaboration, and a commitment to showing the full spectrum of q***r life on screen.
With experience at Parkwood Entertainment, Mathematic VFX, and Gunpowder & Sky, and expert training from USC’s Film Production program, Matthew has built a creative career rooted in music, visuals, and storytelling that actually connects.
His approach is simple: no as****es, take risks, and work with people who aren’t afraid to step outside their comfort zone.
Right now, Matthew is in production on his latest short Petrichor (Hey, Handsome), which is currently crowdfunding ahead of its April shoot. If you want to support a filmmaker who is creating intentional, community-driven work, then Matthew is a great place to start.
Let’s give Matthew a round of applause, a follow, and let’s support the film!
