Matt has been invited to speak at Trinity College, Cambridge University, The National Film & Television School, New York University, film festivals and on television about documentary filmmaking and what he learnt about onomastics (the study of names) from meeting hundreds of men around the world named James Bond.

  • "It was such a joy to have Matt as a guest speaker at NYU. Everyone was rapt and hung on his every word. Matt’s insights into the world of filmmaking and the exciting ups and downs of documentary gave the audience a lot to think about and he was flooded with dozens of questions afterward. "

    David Irving, Associate Professor, New York University
