Matthew Wade is inspired by the exploration of ideas, dreams, creative techniques, and how the application of personal exploration lends itself to the way others absorb his work. With clear intentions about the exploration of a film's imagery, inquiries of sequence, timing, and atmosphere manifest into something more akin to the recording of a dream, as opposed to a traditionally structured "narrative." Matthew believes that  aesthetics are king, and they matter more than the plot of a film or its attempts to impart some specific agenda. Matthew’s hope is that his films are the starting point of conversations, not a passive experience meant to be a cheap moment of entertainment.
