Matt O'Shea was born and raised in NYC and attended local schools. A high school media class sparked his interest in film production which led to enrollment at Boston’s Emerson College. Without a compass pointing into any specific medium, he wound up working almost exclusively on the production of television commercials with occasional assistance to friends who needed help making short and long format films.

This career began in 1986 as a production assistant and has continued to this day where Matt is a Producer, Assistant Director and Unit Production Manager. He has been a member of the Director’s Guild of America for 33 years and many of the spots he has worked on would be familiar to millions of people.
