История

Matt Macedo was born on January 31, 1994, in the San Joaquin Valley, CA. Between the ages of 3 and 6, Macedo would perform in his step-brother's homemade movies for fun. At the age of 12, he began writing short stories and one of those stories turned into his first screenplay titled "Envision". In 2011, a few years after his family moved to Hanford, CA, he strengthened his skills as a filmmaker and created a short documentary titled "Homeless in Hanford". The documentary highlights an individual's struggle with addiction and his unique perspective on living homeless in his small community. In 2014, Macedo began production on what would be his film to get into a film festival. "Drug of Choice" showed the unique perspective of a teenager addicted to heroin and how the trauma he experienced as a child led to his suffering. In 2016, Macedo moved from the Central Valley to Los Angeles to attend The New York Film Academy and further strengthen his passion for filmmaking. While attending school, Macedo would continue to make short films that would go on to win awards at numerous film festivals including Without Regret and Our Oceans.
