Director Biography - Matthew T. Price

After graduating from USC with a cinema degree, I worked in film and television production for over a decade. At the same time, I wrote and directed short films on the side.

I finally made my first feature film and first daughter in the same year. The movie’s pretty good, but I’m even more proud of my daughter, who already knows all the words to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

In addition to earning a master’s degree in fine arts, I was part of the inaugural cohort of Imagine Impact, the screenwriting accelerator created by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.

Director Statement

Exterior LA is the culmination of years of studying the interaction between script and screen. I challenged myself to visualize the written word, while telling a compelling story of self realization.
