My name is Matt Dayton and I graduated with a communications degree in film at the University of Texas at Austin in December 2008. My background is in the arts. I was originally an art major but then I made the switch to film. My favorite pass time is simply creating. I am a Jack of many trades and love to learn new ways of doing things and challenging myself in different media. A lot of my inspiration recently has come from the desperate situation the world finds itself in. Most people are completely ignorant to what is happening in this country and around the world and how their perception is being manipulated. I am a truth seeker in a time of universal deceit.
"The poet, the artist, the sleuth – whoever sharpens our perception tends to be anti-social; rarely "well-adjusted", he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists among anti-social types in their power to see environments as they really are." (Marshall McLuhan)
