Born in a small Texas town, Trevin Matcek has made movies since he was 10 years old. In 1996 Matcek moved to Los Angeles and was accepted into USC’s Film Production program. Sylvia, his first 35mm short, won the Gold Award for Best Student Short at Houston Worldfest and played at over a dozen festivals around the world.

After working several years in post-production, Matcek began directing and editing music videos for bands such as Spoon and Clearlake. In 2003 he directed “The District Sleeps Tonight” video for The Postal Service, which was Fuse TV’s #3 Video of the Year and nominated by the Music Video Production Association for Best Video under $10,000. Most recently, he has worked on campaigns for NFL Sports and Sony’s PS3 (Webby award-winning).

In 2008, IFP selected Matcek’s script Things We’ve Made as an Emerging Narrative Finalist. In addition, earlier this year, the project was accepted into Film Independents prestigious Directors Lab. Working with seven other directors and four mentors (Rodrigo Garcia, Keith Gordon, Catherine Hardwicke, and Alfredo De Villa), Matcek was able to workshop and direct three of the script’s more complicated scenes.

Matcek is also part of the Dublab Collective, helming Vision Version videos for artists The Excepter and Baby Dee.
