Matthew's Story

Upon graduating from Reno High, I went on to UOP (NorCal) for one semester before transferring to and graduated from Biola University (SoCal). After teaching English in Japan for the summer I returned to the OC and began a career in video, film and graphic media. I have been back and forth to Reno, visiting and living from time to time, where my two oldest kids (late 20's) still reside. Professional Bio: -MK- began his filmmaking career at age 11, armed with a child's imagination and a silent Super-8 movie camera. Decades later, -MK- is an award-winning Writer/Producer/Director/Editor, with considerable experience in creating and producing feature films, television and digital media. His first two feature films each won top festival awards and secured worldwide distribution. A technical director and pioneer technologist, his breadth of experience has rapidly expanded in social media development/marketing, technology management and transmedia integration. He extended his knowledge and experience into training the next generation, both domestically and abroad. -MK- has trained up-and-coming filmmakers and actors around the world. His current...Expand for more
moniker "Media Samurai" was derived from the ancient Japanese meaning "one who serves". I spent three years traveling the world developing a feature film series entitled "eXtreme Faith", which took me to: Japan, China, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, England, Scotland, Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Mexico, and Costa Rica. On that trip, I met my amazing wife and we have been married since 2008. After living in the Philippines for almost three years, we returned to Los Angeles and Reno in 2010/2011. After a stint as senior producer for FOX, my wife, youngest son and I have taken up residence a horse ranch in NE Oklahoma as we embark on an exciting project - with some of my oldest and dearest friends - to build a day-camp, residential equestrian camp program and center for a coming Horses For Heroes for returning veterans. As of this writing (June 2015), I am just my thesis away from a Masters in Communications, Advanced Digital Storytelling. My life to date has been filled with the darkest of valleys and the highest of mountains. It have been quite a ride. I can't wait to see what the coming years will bring! Live Free Film Hard!
