Matthew Rush is a Producer, Director, and Actor from Seattle. He has roughly a decade of industry experience under his belt with some of his top credits including films like “Prospect” and “The Paper Tigers”. After getting his start in the lighting department, Matt has spent the past few years transitioning into producing and directing. His work blends his love for horror and genre with a streak of absurdism to create films reminiscent of the ones that first shaped him.

I'm Melita Sandrin, and I'm a second-year master's student at the University of Nova Gorica at the School of Arts. Even before UNG, I was learning about animation and film at the School of Animated Film in Čakovec. Currently, I'm exploring different techniques and media of animation, but found myself mostly enjoying analogue techniques. Other than animation, I like to dip my fingers in the fields of video film, photography, new media, and design.

Denmark based filmmaker

Since the early 2000s, he has been directing short films, commercials, viral videos, and music videos for Italian and international musicians (including Afterhours, Subsonica, Verdena, Max Cooper, and Tony Iommi). In 2011, the Cinémathèque québécoise ranked “Videogioco” among the 50 short films that changed the history of animation. In 2014, his Grotesque photobooth was selected among the 20 videos of the year by Saatchi & Saatchi as part of the Cannes International Festival of Creativity. In November 2016, “journal animé” was selected as one of the five finalists for the César Award and was included in the list of 70 short films competing for the Oscars. In June 2018, his video “Ghost Crash” went viral on Facebook, reaching 250 million views. In 2022, the Chicago-based agency High Dive commissioned him to create a TV commercial for the NHL hockey playoffs. In 2020, the Arte TV show Tracks produced documentaries about his work. From April 7 to October 8, his solo exhibition “metaverse” was held at the National Cinema Museum in Turin, at the Mole Antonelliana.
