Matt Kowalczuk

Matt is a freelance filmmaker with a huge range of experience across the corporate, media and art sectors.

Matt Kowalczuk took an intensive filmmaking course before gaining a place on the Media Foundation Placement Scheme, funded by independent production companies as well as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. He worked for a small production house in Manchester, while also receiving training at both ITV and BBC Manchester (BBC Academy).

As well as working as a filmmaker, Matt is a passionate film instructor who loves to share his knowledge and skills with his students. In class he aims to give students a sense of what it is like to work in film, and tries to keep his lessons as practical as possible – giving students an overview of the filmmaking process.
