Matt Clive

Directing

2004-06-30 · Utica, New York, USA

Growing up in central NY, Matt Clive developed a special love for film and television. Not the most popular in middle and high school, movies and shows served as an escape for Matt and, in 8th grade, he decided he wanted to make them. He taught himself how to write screenplays - by reading them and reading books and articles on the format. After graduating high school in 2022, Matt enrolled in college at MVCC for a Video Production degree. That year, he served as Assistant Director for the new Film Club at the school, earning a writing credit for 3/4 stories in the film they developed that year - "Between the Lines and Pages" - and a director credit for a portion of the film. After graduating from MVCC, he enrolled at SUNY Oswego where he continues to pursue a degree in Cinema and Screen Studies with a minor in Creative Writing.
