2. Matt’s debut feature film, HANGDOG, co-created with his wife, was loosely inspired by his fear of accidentally killing their dog.

4. Matt thinks the world is pretty nutty and doesn’t think the workplace should mirror that.

5. Matt eats way too much ice cream. But doesn’t feel too bad about it.

6. Matt believes everyone would be better off creating. Write a poem, croon in the shower, build a wobbly chair, send a letter to a friend. Whatever you do, avoid riding those electric mono wheels.

7. Matt is a luddite. If he could edit on a Steenbeck, he would.

8. Matt wonders why everyone’s website looks the same, including his own. Ah yes, Squarespace. Thank you for turning us into condos.

10. Matt worries about the future. But for now will continue eating ice cream.
