Matt Rowell | Biography

-

I'm Matt, a filmmaker, narrative designer, and digital artist skilled in video and virtual production, interactive storytelling, and software engineering.

I’m interested in how strong creative ideas are brought to life through thoughtful production: clear storytelling, careful planning, technical fluency, and multidisciplinary collaboration. My background combines both film and virtual production with game design, digital art, writing, QA, training, leadership, and technical delivery.

Following my Master’s degree in Games, I’ve continued to develop as a creative generalist. I’ve earned certifications in Project Management, Scrum, Agile, and Python, and I’m currently studying interactive narrative writing with Greg Buchanan, a bestselling novelist and writer whose credits include No Man’s Sky, The Dark Pictures Anthology, and Metro: Exodus.

I recently completed a DevOps Engineering apprenticeship at Apple, achieving a distinction while gaining hands-on experience in software engineering, automation, infrastructure, and cross-functional problem-solving. That technical background shapes my creative work: I’m organised, adaptable, detail-focused, and able to bridge creative ambition with practical execution.

Alongside this, I’m developing an interactive narrative project combining cinematic visual design, branching storytelling, and character-led writing. It reflects the work I’m passionate about: emotionally engaging stories with strong production values and clear creative vision.

I’m available for opportunities across video production, games, digital content, and creative storytelling. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss potential roles, projects, or collaborations.
