Matt Shea

Matt Shea studied Economics at the Queensland University of Technology but eschewed a career in that discipline when he realised it was less of a science and more like a board game – although one of those fun ones where you get to draw diagrams. He decided instead to become a writer. Matt began writing in 2003 when he helped develop a series of comedy sketches for screen, before collaborating with various writers in subsequent years on a variety of short film and television pilot scripts, a number of which remain in development. Between 2006 and 2009, he also started working to develop a number of his own short film scripts. In late 2007 Matt began writing for Scene Magazine, contributing on both music and film, while through 2008 he also became a regular contributor for The Coolhunter and composed articles for both Passion of the Weiss and Way Cool Jnr. Since late 2008 Matt has run his own film review blog at www.screentrek.com while also doing regular copywriting work for The Man. If you'd like to hire Matt for his words you should contact him at the email address listed below. For payment he prefers pieces of eight.
