director: matt pearson

Born in New Zealand, Matt grew up with a passion for the outdoors and a hands on approach to life. Matt completed his Certificate of Mechanical Engineering with high grades but knew from an early age that directing was the only career choice so he moved to Australia when he was 19. He has built both careers side by side and is now concentrating all of his energy into his directing career. Matt found his engineering background useful when he built his own steadicam allowing him to achieve a slick visual style combined with his high impact editing skills.

As you might of gathered by this stage we’re a little more straightforward that most production companies: what you see is what you get. So lets talk it straight, even though we’ve been around for years, we are to most of you, the new kids on the block. So we need to make you guys feel warm and fuzzy, and comfortable that your choice is going to be the right one. Let's talk about the 100% guarantee. But before we go any further let me answer a nagging question that some of you may have.
