About

Matthew Van Brenne is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles.

Raised in the Bay Area, and coparented by a fledgling internet, his storytelling interests are often simultaneously dark, funny, and deeply humanistic. His filmmaking touchstones lie at the nexus of underground skate videos procured via LimeWire, Total Request Live, and arthouse DVDs from the Blockbuster 2 for $20 used section. Matthew is currently in various stages of development on several short film projects.

As a cinematographer Matthew has shot numerous commercials, short films, and music videos. Several featuring people whose names or faces temporarily ease his parents’ concern about his chosen career path.

Other things I’m working on:

  • Polyfilmic – A collection of resources for independent filmmakers
  • – HTML game
