Director, Producer, Cinematographer, Editor

Matty Hannon has experience producing documentaries in challenging environments across 6 continents. He runs a multi-award winning production company from the middle of a national park on the north coast of NSW. His undergraduate degree in Ecology and several years experience in the fields of conservation and cultural resilience in remote Sumatra led him to pick up a camera, and continues to influence his film work to this day. THE ROAD TO PATAGONIA is his debut feature documentary.
