Working With Children, the Disabled and Indigenous Groups
Matt has also worked extensively with children offering them projects where they can develop their musical and film skills on a voluntary basis. By doing so, he has collaboratively produced some unique and very entertaining children’s stories and artworks.
Some of Matt's key projects has given him the opportunity to work with the disabled. His award-winning (Spine of Creativity) produced together with Fairlie Sandilands shows a depth of understanding for people who are struggling with everyday life, but who can also be given the chance to tell their story in the hope that it helps and inspires others.
Working with the culture of our Indigenous countrymen requires a knowledge of their laws and customs. Matt's respectful approach offers the chance for our earliest culture to be recorded and celebrated as we bring together the great divisions between the two in a contemporary way.
