See what 20-time Oscar Nominee says about Matt...

"I have had the pleasure to work on several projects with Matt, most notably The Passion of the Christ. Matt is a Sound Designer who thinks outside the box and is continually pushing the envelope. He always creates new and relevant sounds appropriate for each film and is not one to recycle the same old tired sound effects. Matt brings a certain musicality to the mix, adding multiple layers of emotional depth and detail while sparing no expense with impact and aggression. I look forward to working with him again."
