While growing up in his parent's Taiwanese restaurant, Matthew joined the nearby kung fu academy. It is here where he gained an enthusiastic appreciation of Jackie Chan films and began jumping off buildings and bouncing off cars. He would spend his days visualising action sequences and fight scenes. Upon realising that he would never have the physical skill to pull off these stunts, it became apparent that behind the camera is where he really wanted to be.

Matthew’s short films and music videos have won several awards. Matthew was the first to shoot and direct the world’s first single-shot music video filmed in 3D. Matthew’s cinematography continues to win awards including Gold with the Australian Cinematographer’s Society.
