Matt Jennings, a talented individual, earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater Arts from California State University, Long Beach. He has continued to hone his craft through performances on stage and screen.
One of his notable achievements is the creation of his one-man show, "The Universe of Matt Jennings," which he wrote and co-produced. The show made its west coast premiere at the Long Beach Playhouse in 2012, and three years later, it debuted on the east coast at the New York Fringe Festival in 2015.
Matt is also the co-founder of an independent production company, 216 Pictures, which produced a short film he wrote, directed, and starred in, titled "The Collective." His work extends to the stage as well, as he was part of a touring production called "Port Chicago 50," which tells the poignant story of black soldiers involved in the Port Chicago disaster of 1944.
In addition to his impressive portfolio, Matt was a west coast finalist in the ABFF (American Black Film Festival) Star Project monologue competition for 2017, sponsored by NBC.
