Passing Through
Multi Award-Winning Feature Film
"Matt did a wonderful job grading my feature film Passing Through. Right from the beginning, his understanding of the story as a whole and his approach to colour grading as an integral part of telling that story was both reassuring and stimulating.
Working together, he was flexible and collaborative, as keen to listen to and interpret suggestions as to share his own ideas. And the finished results were a thing of beauty, taking a project that was very precious to me and elevating it to another level."

Visible proof that the grading stage really can make or break a film. Find someone great at what they do, and let them do it. Thank you from all of us."

No Turning Back
Feature Film
"In my search for a Colourist, God led me to CGL. The location was perfect for me, and I really enjoyed working with Matt. As this was my first feature film, I didn’t have any colour grading experience, but Matt took the time to explain certain processes and was very helpful.
Matt was very easy to work with and was always friendly and professional. I would recommend him to others without hesitation as I am very happy with the results he produced on No Turning Back.

"Matt was a joy to work with and a consummate professional. He delivered exactly what was asked and carefully explained each step as he adjusted elements during the in-person grade. I only hope he is available for my next project."

“Matt is a genuinely talented Colourist and enjoys his craft.
We recently trialed several terrestrial TV ad campaigns to tight deadlines. Matt is highly technical, creative, openminded and patient. Matt delivered premium colour correction, and colour grading for two broadcast commercials shot on Arri Alexa.
It was great to work together, and I would certainly recommend Matt for any colour correction and colour grading for broadcast online.”
