Bio
Aaron Duncan
Matt has an innate ability to connect with the project on any level required. Solo or with a collaborative group, teaching or lecturing, live or on-line - his insight, wisdom, and experience are second to none. Highly recommended for all levels of work. His portfolio is staggering.
Robert Sodaro
Matt is an extremely talented artist. He has the ability to visualize a script, and to impressively render it into a compelling and dynamic story. His professional work ethics, attention to detail, and production values are top flight. In addition to his impressive artistic abilities he is also a talented writer, impressive leader, and a good friend. I give him my highest recommendation.
