"Look for the ridiculous in everything..."
Matt Orefice cut his teeth and other bits working for James L. Brooks, Jon Favreau, Miguel Arteta, and other good folks.
He has produced an animated trilogy ("Bubble Bubble Meows and the Meteor Stomachache", "Bubble Bubble Meows and the Lame-O Baby Jib", "Bubble Bubble Meows and the Things That Happen in Movies Like This"), a puppet trilogy ("Joy of Wolf", "Phylum Sipuncula", "Wine of Birds"), and a fantasy feature ("Bad Men From a Melting Moon"), all which take place in dream-like worlds of idiosyncrasies, internalization, and impossible tragedies.
