My son, the filmmaker

My son, Matty (Matthew), has come a long way in his life... From a shy, hidden child, to a blossoming, award-winning, world-traveling filmmaker. His work includes everything from commercials to documentaries, music videos to tourism, museum installations to short films. Matty's unique style has caught the eye of people from all over the world. He has been praised in The New York Times, multiple times in The Atlantic Magazine, and many other magazines and newspapers across the globe. His work presented in various schools like Temple University, Harvard, and Lisbon University. Governments of countries such as Poland, Portugal, and Brazil, and Italy have commended Matthew for his artful and beautiful contributions to the world. Soon, he will be having lunch with diplomats of other countries in New York City to talk about his work. Matty started uploading videos onto the video-sharing site Vimeo just three years ago and has been featured on the front page and in the Staff Picks 12 times, making him the 2nd most featured person on the site of over 14 million users. He has been directing full-time for only the last two years, and his career and popularity has been growing exponentially ever since. This is a journal of my son's journey into his blooming career,  with the challenges and processes along the way.

To start off, here is Matty's film, 'Dreaming It{aly}', which has won multiple awards, including an Italian tourism award for best tourism film. Along with a few of his other pieces, it was the centerpiece of the Nacional Festival 5 Minutos in Brazil (http://tinyurl.com/afj32k2).   Since he made 'Dreaming It{aly}', he has made three more exciting adventure films for different areas of Italy and has been offered to direct the National Tourism Campaign of Italy this summer.
