Matt created the short film Sixty-Five Days, which was a finalist at the Atlanta Film Festival.

A beautiful short film set to John Orr‘s rendition of "Muzzle" by Smashing Pumpkins.

It’s a healing-through-art piece that explores the vulnerable spectrum of hopelessness
to hope. This was my journey during my wife’s sixty-five-day hospital stay. I grappled with the
fear of losing my soulmate while simultaneously cherishing the good times we had, all while
worrying about the future. Amidst this uncertainty, I discovered the inner strength to step up
and learn how to care for her twenty-four hours a day for the next two and a half years.
