He has been teaching film and media production at the University of Kansas since August of 1999. In addition to teaching, Matt is also a cinematographer, producer, and director, with over 40 feature film and video credits to his name. As Director of Photography, Matt has taken three feature films to the Sundance Film Festival�a rare achievement for most working filmmakers, much less those who teach full-time. Matt's latest projects are two new feature films with creative partner and fellow KU professor Kevin Willmott; Destination: Planet Negro!, a 1950�s science fiction parody, and Jayhawkers, a film about "Phog" Allen and the Kansas basketball team in the 1950s (with co-Director of Photography and former KU student Jeremy Osbern). Both are tentatively scheduled for release in 2014.
