Director Trevin Matcek Speaks at USC: Science in Film

Back in November, Trevin was asked to speak at his alma mater USC for students competing in a short film competition dealing with scientific themes. The students were tasked with explaining and illustrating a scientific concept, principle, or issue for a wide, non-expert audience. Though Trevin's most recent work has dealt with futuristic sci-fi, his stories are based on real concepts and research. Here, he talks about how to create a futuristic world on a low a budget as seen in LIFE BEGINS AT REWIREMENT and more.

OBLIVION in Theaters This Weekend

A movie I put six months of my life into comes out today. I worked on the previsualization team, helping director Joe Kosinski bring this futuristic world to screen. See it (in IMAX) if you can. Really proud of it. Big world, small story. Cold sci-fi that still has a pulse - and wears its heart on its sleeve...Trevin

LIFE BEGINS Online Screening

There was very little notice, but we had a fantastic online screening event presented by ITVS where we could watch LIFE BEGINS AT REWIREMENT and be connected in an interactive discusssion. It was a blast and we loved hearing from teachers who said their students were very much into the short (despite what some educational advisors thought). We've found that kids and teenagers are especially touched by the story, as they identify with their grandparents and parents going through similar situations.

Thanks to everyone who joined! What could be more appropriate for a film about connecting virtually with a loved one than to meet viewers online to talk about it? You view the archived log by going here and hitting the "Enter Anonymously" button.
