Matthew’s work as a filmmaker-scholar is closely informed by his interests in philosophy, migration, and heritage. Trained in film and philosophy at New York University, his work in documentary has been screened at Doc Edge, SSFF & Asia, the BFI, and Louvre Abu Dhabi. Following a research assistantship at NYU Abu Dhabi, he pursued postgraduate research in film aesthetics at the University of Oxford as a Chevening Scholar, where his dissertation explored metamodernism in contemporary Malaysian cinema. His writing has appeared with Routledge and Palgrave Macmillan, including work on heritage, authenticity, and multiculturalism. At Sunway, he teaches directing, editing, and genre. He has served as a FIPRESCI jury member, and is currently developing research on cringe and amateur aesthetics.
