Matt Hartle is an award-winning writer, director, designer, and VFX artist. He lives in northern Montana with his wife, two children, and their dogs Nana, and Jaques. For several decades, he has worked in theatrical advertising and visual effects, at first in Los Angeles and later remotely from Montana. As a partner in a successful visual effects company, he spends his days helping others to realize their dreams, but at night (or very early in the morning!), works to manifest his own! He has been fortunate to contribute to several of the Harry Potter films, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the Lionsgate logo, to name a few.

In Montana, he and his family ski, bike, swim, camp, hike--basically anything to be out of doors in the beautiful place they live! They also enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and seeing new places.

Matt has written a number of screenplays and directed several short films, including the award-winning short, Agent.
