Who we are.

A little more about the

people behind the projects.

Matt Richards, Writer/Director

This is Matt Richards, writer/director for Outside-In. Matt studied film theory at an agricultural school and the smell of cow manure routinely hits him with waves of nostalgia. He’s a writer/director/avid movie watcher with a genuine Letterboxd addiction. He likes structure, gets overwhelmed easily and enjoys being creative and collaborating with friends and strangers. 5 years ago he predicted that he would one day be sitting in the Hilton Meadowlands lobby writing a bio while waiting for dinner.
