Matthew Stubstad - Director/Producer
Matthew was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and before he turned one his family moved to warmer weather in Southern California. They would settle in Encinitas, California, a peaceful and creative surf-town that would become a place of inspiration for him. Still to this day Matthew returns to Encinitas to film projects and find vision.
He began making films at the age of nine; when he took his mothers VHS camcorder and began to make stop-animation shorts with his toys. This interest in creating films only grew. In high-school Matthew created his first company, Stubby Productions and made surf documentaries of his friends. Self-teaching himself proper cinematography and editing. He began to work for local production companies and independently made music videos for local bands. In 2007 Matthew decided to take his filmmaking seriously and moved to Los Angeles to attend The USC School of Cinematic Arts.
