Release Notes:
Matt McCormick is a 34-year-old artist and filmmaker who has made several award
winning short films in recent years. His work blurs the lines between
documentary and experimental filmmaking to fashion witty and abstract
observations of contemporary culture and the urban landscape. His film Towlines
explores the role of the tugboat in modern society, while American Nutria
examines the plight of an imported species while chastising capitalismÆs
tendency to create its own disasters. The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal
makes the observation that the process of destroying one art form unwittingly
creates another, while his installation piece Ride a Wave To TomorrowÆs Sunset
reflects on the need for æsynthetic meditationÆ.
MattÆs work has screened in film festivals, art museums, and microcinemas around
the globe, appeared on MTV and the Sundance Channel, and has received positive
reviews from Art Forum, The New York Times, and Film Comment magazine. Matt has
worked and collaborated with many artists and musicians, including The Shins,
Miranda July, Sleater-Kinney, The Postal Service, and Calvin Johnson. Matt has
had three films screen at the Sundance Film Festival, and been included in the
traveling group exhibitions ôUncertain States of Americaö and ôBaja to
Vancouver.ö He has received awards including Best Short Film from the San
Francisco International Film Fest, Best Experimental from the New York
Underground Film Fest, and Best Short from the Ann Arbor Film Fest, and his film
æThe Subconscious Art of Graffiti RemovalÆ was named as a æTop 10 Film of 2002Æ
by both The Village Voice and Art Forum magazine.
