Meet the Full Swing Team


MATT WATTERWORTH

Matt Watterworth was born in Edmonton, Alberta and attended Victoria School of the Arts where he discovered the power of video production. Armed with a focused goal of producing and directing films, Matt entered SAIT Polytechnic’s Film & Video Production Program where he met Scott Westby. With the program’s committed instructors and talented, inspiring students, Matt graduated with a powerful understanding of Film, Television and Video production in Alberta. During his final year at SAIT, Matt was selected by Canada’s 7th largest production company, SEVEN24 Films, as a practicum student.

Shortly after graduating, Matt was asked by Tom Cox and Jordy Randall of SEVEN24 Films to apply to two mentorship programs: The Canadian Media Production Association/City TV Cultural Diversity Mentorship Program and The Alberta Media Production Industries Association/CFCN Mentorship Program. Successful with both applications, Matt began an internship at SEVEN24 as an Administrative Assistant.

Around the same time, Matt and Scott embarked on their first post-SAIT production, a short film called Tell Me a Lie. The process proved to both Matt and Scott that a long-term partnership would be a fruitful endeavour and Full Swing Productions was born.
