You are so hypnotized by yourself that
you probably think you're real. -Byron Katie
Matt Faw, M.F.A.
Director, Producer, Animator
Matt Faw began his filmmaking career as a Director of Photography, shooting several indie feature films. He has since focused mostly on editing TV documentaries, as well as directing and shooting music videos, commercials, promos and web series. His first feature-length non-fiction production was "Danger Room", a break-dancing film. Faw himself is usually dancing, when he's not busy learning neuroscience and computer animation. In 2016, his subjective experience theory paper, co-written with Science Advisor (and my pops) Bill Faw, was published at WIREs Cognitive Science (more info on the Theory page).
