Matt Spease is a multifaceted individual, known for his impressive career in the film industry. He has not only acted in numerous films but has also directed almost every film he has appeared in, from 2001 to 2008.
Born on September 5th, 1973, in Sterling, IL, Matt's early childhood was marked by frequent run-ins with local bullies. Determined to defend himself, he studied two forms of martial arts, Jeet Kune Do and Kenpo, which not only helped him overcome his bullies but also became an integral part of his filmmaking process.
Matt's fascination with filmmaking began in 1988 when a camcorder was first introduced to his household. He started making experimental short films, including horror films like Killseeker and comedy films inspired by the 3 Stooges. His most notable work during this period was the 40-minute short film Evil On Queen Street, which took him four years to complete.
In between working on Evil On Queen Street, Matt wrote several scripts, including a Spider-man script, Meteor: The Hidden 3, and Eve Of Terror. Although he sent his Spider-man script to every major movie studio, he received no response. He later decided against sending his other scripts to studios, opting instead to showcase his work online.
Matt's online presence grew, and he started sharing his films on his website, Matt Spease Productions. He experimented with different styles, including a Star Wars spoof called The Stooges - Episode V: Die, Stooges, Die, which featured a rough production and subpar lightsaber effects. The film was a mild success, but Matt was determined to improve his craft.
In 2002, Matt remade Evil On Queen Street, this time with a more polished production and a new cast, including Violet Flame as Alexia Thompson. The film was released under the Matt Spease Productions banner and received positive reviews.
Matt continued to experiment with different styles, releasing films like The Chameleon Killer, a horror film that became a fan favorite. He also started a sister company, Lighthouse Pictures, which focused on action and sci-fi films. Lighthouse's first release was a new version of Die, Stooges, Die, titled Dark World: Duel Of The Assassins.
In 2006, Matt remade Evil On Queen Street again, this time basing it more closely on the original short film. The film was shot with a new cast and received a stronger response than the previous version.
Matt's next project was a feature film remake of his oldest short film series, Killseeker, titled Indestructible. The film marks Matt's first feature film slasher role, as he plays the part of James Kirby. It is scheduled to be released in mid 2009.
Throughout his career, Matt has demonstrated his versatility as a filmmaker, experimenting with different styles and genres. His dedication to his craft has earned him a loyal fan base, and his films continue to entertain and impress audiences worldwide.
