Matt Carlson is a London‑based filmmaker and creative professional originally from Minneapolis, USA, with over a decade of experience as a director, editor, producer, and communications specialist. He earned his MA in Filmmaking from the London Film School in 2025—training in directing, cinematography, camera operation, producing, and editing—and holds a BA in Communication and Film from Loyola University Chicago (2015). Early in his career, Matt worked across the U.S. as an editor, director, producer, and videographer, developing both commercial projects and his own artistic practice.

In 2022, he moved to London to immerse himself in the city’s vibrant film community. Fascinated by documentary, experimental, comedic, and surreal storytelling, Matt is passionate about creating human‑centered films that connect us and make us feel less alone. He believes in the power of cinema to blend image and sound in emotionally transformative ways—and looks forward to collaborating on projects that inspire and engage.

When he’s not crafting stories on screen, Matt can be found seeing his favorite bands live, writing and recording music (Check out his alt rock band, LynnDream), exploring art museums, jogging along the Thames, following the NFL, traveling the world, or spending time with friends and family.
