I am passionate about filmmaking!

Hi! I am Matthew McCaulley, a professional filmmaker with 10 years of experience in producing, directing, cinematography, editing, color-grading, and motion graphics. I have worked to create solutions for a wide variety of needs - YouTube shorts, social media posts, product and brand campaign videos, award-winning animated tutorials, short films, and even a multiple award-winning, distributed feature film. No matter the project, my focus is always on high-quality visual storytelling to engage an audience and keep them watching. Having been an aerospace engineer for a major defense contractor in a former career, I am technically minded and all about details and processes. I’m also fun and easy to work with. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to talk to you soon!

P.S. You can just call me Matt.

Portfolio

Feature Film and Short Film

Telling bold stories through my short films and feature film, unDEFILED, which has won 15 awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and is now available on Amazon, TUBI, and Apple TV.

Commercial/Educational

Telling educational stories that embody the heart of a brand, showcase specific products, and teach both children and adults. You'll find all of these examples within this reel.

Documentary

Telling true-to-life stories that range from gritty and shocking to amusing and lighthearted. It is amazing to harness film in a way that engages an audience in someone's experiences and relates it back to them.
