Matt Bilen
Filmmaker / Director / Motion Graphics / Cinematography
After years of working in documentary and commercial work as an editor, cinematographer, and even composer, I started making short films with an emphasis on certain genres and a stylistic approach. I have produced and directed multiple short films, an episodic pilot cartoon, and a feature film. I am currently working on my second feature film, Vigilante Superstar, due to come out in 2024.
My driving goal is to create work with redemptive themes but within a stylistic package. My favorite saying is "dirt under the fingernails" filmmaking.
Known as a "thrifty" filmmaker, my creative juices allow me to produce content that looks far above budget. This has been true of my feature work as well as my short format work. I love that challenge. Not to say I wouldn't take a couple million to make a film, but creativity is my strong suit.
Finally, I moonlight as a motion graphics artist and have taught video and film at both the high school and college level for over 10 years.
