Hi there!!!
My name is Matt McClure. I am a Senior RTF student at the
Not that I'm not in the professional world already or anything. Because I am already in it! But, I would prefer to have all my time in it, rather than one foot as a professional and the other as a university student...
Currently, I am working on a full feature independent film outside of school. My personal roles include being the producer, the assistant director, and an actor as well.
I am very excited about this project because I have wanted to make movies since I was a little kid. And now I am finally doing it. My goal once the film is finished is to take it on a festival tour and then start prepping to do the next film entitled “The Woods” with my director buddy Mike McCutchen.
Mike is the current director of the film I am working on entitled “The Next Kill.” He has the qualities, persistence and vision to be an amazing film director. I have such a huge faith with him that I intend to just keep working with him over the years. We work really well with each and make a great team and like the style of movies he wishes to make. My goal is just to keep working with him and keep making bigger and bigger movies as we go along with bigger and bigger budgets. I will be primarily a producer and actor, but will also have my have my hand in other parts of the creative process with writing, assistant directing, and overseeing the editing and the music.
I have a seed planted with Mike. I believe in working with others as a way of building each other up. “You can have everything you want in life if you help enough people get what they want.”
Mike wants to be a big time director. I want to be a big time actor. My first pay check was acting at the age of ten and that’s one thing that I have always wanted to do since. By teaming up with Mike and others I will by pass all the glass ceilings out there so I can get what I want.
So why am I in the Visual Effects and Motion graphics class?
Well, because an intelligent and budget savvy producer knows a little about the whole film making process.
Also, I need to work on some of these visual effect skills for some of the work I am doing for my own personal business I have unrelated to film outside of school.
That is about it.
I am done writing.
Anyway, I don’t usually post a lot of the projects I do online, but I’ll add a live music video to this blog that I actually have on the internet. And I will also add the trailer for my movie when it is ready and that should be pretty soon.
Thanks for reading,
Matt McClure
