MY ROLE

As an independent self-shooting videographer, I have had the privilege of collaborating with Grimsby Town Football Club and other clients. 

My experience spans a variety of film and television productions, including working closely with Shush Films on notable projects such as Three Day Millionaire and All Town Aren't We?, both directed by Jack Spring. On these productions, I gained extensive behind-the-scenes experience, assisting across all areas of production—from set running and production assistance to camera support.

I have also worked as a camera assistant on the Channel 5 documentary Murder in Shetland, and as a production assistant on Shane Meadows’ feature film Chork, scheduled for release in 2026.

Additionally, I have contributed to independent films, including 1881, Dead By Midnight, OCD, and Chips and Our Neighbours Ass, achieving commercial acclaim on the independent short film circuit.

Featured Credits Include:

  • Chork – Production Assistant (Shane Meadows, scheduled 2026)

  • Murder in Shetland – Camera Assistant

  • Dead By Midnight – Directed by Fran Mineo

  • 1881 – Directed by Michael Parsons

  • Three Day Millionaire – Directed by Jack Spring

  • All Town Aren't We? – Directed by Jack Spring

  • BT National League Sports Highlights Coverage – Camera Operator

  • Grimsby Town: Finding Our Winning Ways – Videographer/Producer/Director/Editor

I bring extensive hands-on experience from both set and BTS roles, having worked on Three Day Millionaire with Colm Meaney, OCD and Chips alongside Adele Marie, and Our Neighbour’s Ass featuring Dame Maureen Lipman.

 

Across these projects, I have consistently contributed as a set runner, production assistant, and camera support, gaining practical insight into all aspects of production management.

I am currently seeking development roles within the film and television industry while working with Hammond House. As an independent freelancer, I dedicate my time to supporting and collaborating with local filmmakers, which has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of independent venues and organisations, including Docks Academy, BT Sport, Grimsby Town Football Club, Ambition Films, CineShow, Mind Your Paws, and Phillips 66.

My focus is on refining my skills in production, camera operation, and project management, while gaining hands-on experience across different aspects of television and film production. I am particularly motivated to contribute to projects alongside highly skilled crews, where I can continue learning and developing my expertise.

In independent productions, my responsibilities often include assisting with setups, filming, preparing contributors, and supporting overall production workflows, all while prioritising the needs of the team and the client. These experiences have strengthened my adaptability, problem-solving, and collaborative skills in fast-paced creative environments.

I was honoured to be selected as a delegate at the Edinburgh TV Festival in 2024 as part of The Network, which provided invaluable insights into the industry and facilitated connections with experienced professionals. 

I am committed to continuous growth in the industry and excited to take on roles that allow me to develop new skills, broaden my professional experience, and contribute meaningfully to impactful content.

Making films is not easy, oftentimes making them under immense pressure where things can go wrong in an instant. When this is a frequent occurrence on set you need amazing level headed people. To have the calm and collected Matthew with us was a delight. To know there was someone you could trust to get the job done is hugely important and Matthew is just that.
