These Streets We Haunt, the debut feature film of writer/director Jason Cunningham, has wrapped and entered post production. Though a date has yet to be announced, the production company, Omada Films, is planning to release the sci-fi thriller in 2020.
The character-driven film stars Matt as Marcus, an artist who’s lost his zeal for life. After Marcus rents out his spare room to a young woman, Mia (Lauren Perez), he begins to suspect she is a comic book villain.
Bring You Back was shot a while ago; so glad it’s finally out! I tend to stay away from acting in music videos. Frankly, they just aren’t that fun, and tend not to involve a lot of actual acting. But every once I’ll get a breakdown that is just good. This was one of those times.

I love being in front of an audience. I love to talk. I love film. If you put me in front of an audience to talk about film… bliss. That’s exactly what’s happening in April at the Mountain Tales Film Festival! I’ll be joined by Lauren Perez (my beautiful, talented co-star of These Streets We Haunt) and Jerome Lister to talk about all things acting, especially getting and maintaining a foothold in the industry.

I don’t know how to start writing about my experience taking a week-long improv intensive at the iO Theater in Chicago. I want it to be some form of diary of the week; I want to convey what I learned; I want to nerd out on improv. All of those are difficult to put in a single post.
Last year, Matt was involved with two feature films, and both will be appearing in the 2018 Nashville film festival! Other Versions Of You, a Motke Dapp film about love and parallel universes, will be making its world premiere; and Strategy And Pursuit, an ensemble thriller focusing on the lives, loves and losses of six people over one weekend in the country, will make its Southeast US premiere.
