MULTIMEDIA & DIGITAL THEATRE
In the past few years, Matthew has begun a greater exploration of the use of multimedia within live theatrical production - including digital and live video projection. During the Covid Pandemic, this exploration continued via the use of Zoom to develop and direct an international docudrama as well as directing an online production of the NYC Fringe Festival hit 5 Lesbians Eating A Quiche. In the Spring of 2021, El Camino College hired Matthew to direct a socially-distanced theatre/film hybrid production of Craig Pospisil's Months On End, rehearsed remotely and filmed using iPhones.
