Matt Tomaszewski is a director, writer and showrunner known for bold, cinematic storytelling that explores the deep connection between people, place and purpose.
Over a 25-year career spanning documentary, IMAX, factual series and feature film, Matt has built a reputation for visual precision, grounded emotion, and calm leadership under pressure. His work has taken him from the back of ambulances in the suburbs to shark-infested waters in the Pacific, from the chaos of war zones to the quiet revelation of a child learning about money for the first time.
His credits include Reefshot (Stan), Ambulance Australia (Ten), multiple headline Shark Week specials for Discovery, and an expanding slate of international IMAX releases (Shark Kingdoms 3D, Galapagos, The Coral Sea) distributed globally. He has also co-written the psychological thriller Caught Inside, which premiered at SXSW and won the Sydney Film Festival People's Choice Award and IF Independent Spirit Award.
Matt's background in environmental and marine science, combined with a career forged in vérité and high-pressure fieldwork, gives his projects a distinctive edge: grounded, emotionally resonant, and visually arresting.
He works across formats, platforms and continents-but always returns to his core instinct: stories that matter and stories with heart.
A life-long sailor (including the Sydney to Hobart yacht race), Matt surfs when the waves are on, and believes - climate change aside - there's not much that can't be fixed with a good length of rope and some clever knots.
