Matthew J Thompson joins Smoke&Oakum

Matthew J Thompson is now working with Smoke&Oakum. A self-taught director who started out as an editor, Matthew co-founded the production company North of New York and has directed campaigns for Chipotle, Squarespace, Google and Bose. His first feature, Handle with Care, won Best Feature at the Rhode Island International Film Festival and plays the Newport Beach Film Festival in October. What won him over to generative work was how firmly the studio insists on provenance and editorial craft, rather than regenerating until something looks right.
