Matthew "Matt" James Campagna (born May 25, 1980) is a director, writer, film editor and new media producer from Toronto, Canada. He is known for his film Six Reasons Why as well as his work on web series BSGcast, Your Geek News, The Naked Wine Show and WHIRtv.
Born and raised in Mississauga, Campagna attended Ryerson's Radio and Television Arts program for 4 years, majoring in Digital Film and Interactive Television. Before pursuing film and new media, he worked at Toronto radio and television stations CKFM-FM and Toronto1 as a producer.
Campagna's first internationally distributed film was the post-apocalyptic western Six Reasons Why where he co-wrote, co-directed, co-edited and was the cinematographer on the film. Matt and his brother/co-director/writer/editor Jeff Campagna, shot the final scenes of the film starring Colm Feore in 2007 after Jeff Campagna had made initial contact with the actor by approaching him about the project in an airport. Made for $12,000, the film was sold in a quarter million dollar bidding war to THINKFilm after the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in theatres and on DVD in August 2008. The Campagna Brothers' follow-up film is to be another western, entitled "Roll the Hard Six".
Campagna directed the short film D.N.E. Do Not Erase in 2011 with music by The Walking Dead's Bear McCreary and starring Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch. The script was written by Nar Williams and Rudy Jahchan. The film won Best Sci-Fi at the 2012 DragonCon film festival, and was official selection at its Toronto premiere at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival
