About the Director:

MATTHEW MEBANE
Director / Producer / Sreenwriter

Although Matthew Mebane earned his BA in Economics and a minor in Chemistry from The University of the South he soon found himself gravitating towards the arts after graduation. He immersed himself in the study of still photography, acting, and writing, which culminated in his desire to direct. Matthew interned with Director of Photography Russell Carpenter, ASC on Shallow Hal and just completed work on Charlie's Angels – Full Throttle where he operated the Kodak Panavision Digital Preview System for the director of photography as well as documented lighting setups and assisted the camera crew. The digital preview system allows the director of photography to color correct digital stills on set, print them, and thus visually communicate his vision for the film to others. Matthew's unique position on the set allowed him to work closely with the director, gaffer, keygrip, visual effects supervisor, 2nd Unit director of photography, lab and editor. Matthew is currently working on a feature length screenplay.
