Director Biography - Matthew Hunter

I am a 18 year old who attends Cleveland State University to major in film and have graduated from Cuyahoga Valley Career Center for film and media. I am also in the indie film She was so pretty: Be good for goodness sake with Dirt Candy Productions and I played Christian Miller. I love all the 80's horror films, especially the really weird ones are the best. I am very proud of everything I have done and can't wait to expand it.
