Biography

Matt Bird wrote, directed and produced the indie feature 'Blue Neon' in 2000, during his final year of film studies at the University of Technology, Sydney. Triple J radio film critic Peter Castaldi declared at the time: "Australian screens need a future and this is it!" Bird was then invited as one of eight award winning directors to make a film for POV 2002, from a script by celebrated writer Brendan Cowell. Bird's film 'The Doppelgangers' told the story of a woman haunted by horrific visions of her lover's double, and starred AFI Award Winner Pia Miranda.

In the years since then Bird has continued to hone his skills in drama, while also directing television commercials and music videos. After meeting Producer/MC Thes One of People Under the Stairs, Bird directed the Los Angeles hip-hop duo's debut music video "The Wiz" in 2008. He has also directed music videos for ARIA Award winner's Bliss N Eso and operates Chesterfilm, a film & TV production company based in Sydney.

In February 2011, Bird's film 'A Desperate Deed' was a finalist in the world's largest short film festival, Movie Extra Tropfest.[1][2] It screened to a live national audience of 150,000 people and won Best Editing and Best Original Score.[3]

Bird's recent thriller 'Cold Sore', starring Saskia Burmeister and Henry Nixon, premiered in 2011 and continues to travel the international film festival circuit.
