About the Director

Matthew James Reilly has had film in his blood since birth. Coming from a family of actors, including his Uncle Murray Hamilton (JAWS, THE GRADUATE), he has been surrounded by storytellers his entire life. Matthew continues the tradition by pursuing a career behind the camera. At the age of 22, Matthew achieved two lifetime goals: Graduating from the film program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and being accepted into the Official Selection of the 65th Cannes Film Festival for his short film ABIGAIL (2012). Matthew's aim in filmmaking is to extract and polish the everyday dramas that are otherwise invisible in a sea of neon signs and streetlights.
