From author to film director and producer! Based on the book from author Matt Shaw and Michael Bray, Matt Shaw set about turning MONSTER into a feature film. Producing the film and raising the funds via crowdfunding, it was never going to be easy to shoot a feature film in 8 days and yet, working 15 hours plus a day with no breaks, he managed it. Just. Needless to say there were tears, tantrums, laughter and sickness on the set. Read this account - from Matt Shaw himself - with regards to all that happened behind the scenes...
Author
Biography MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old. Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz. Favourite books "Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories" Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.
