In 2012, Matthew moved from Juneau to New York City, where he took a position with Columbia University in the field of adult education. Two years later, Matthew was accepted into Columbia University's Film Studies MA program. In addition to his full-time employment and part-time studies, Matthew is a weekly columnist at Film School Rejects and has contributed to Playboy, Fangoria, the L.A. Review of Books, Brooklyn Magazine and more.
