My name is Matt Locke and I've been working in the Austin film scene for about 6 years now. I started as a PA at TBD Post while I was still in film school and worked my way up to graphics editor. Wanting to focus on production, I started taking PA gigs and getting on set. I got to work on a lot of amazing commercials and music videos. Around the same time I was head of video production on Austin Radiological Association's internet advertising campaign where I learned heaps about making high-quality videos on a tiny budget. I took what I learned started Brilliant Boy Media with some fellow freelancers from film school and spent a few years making mini-docs and music videos for Austin bands. Most recently I was an assistant editor on "My 600lb Life" at Megalomedia.
