- Mathew J. Wilkinson was born on May 14, 1987 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. He is a writer and director, known for Don't Show Mother (2010), The Helm (2025) and Terror Australis (2026).
- Fequently casts Scott Whitecross
- Does not like using CGI and tries to keep most things in camera.
- It rains in all his films. This has never been intentional and is purely coincidental during principal photography. In Don't Show Mother the main character walks through the rain when stealing a license plate. In the Nullarbor Nymph the climax is filmed during a light storm. In Colourful and Impossible rain can be noted in the fish market sequence. How NOT to make a Horror Film makes mention of rain pushing back the production. In Stuffings rain can be seen falling on the dam behind Bec when she is arguing with Andy. In Audition Tape 13, the setting is intentionally raining the entire time.
- According to film distributor Leslie Morris of Bounty Films, Mathew J Wilkinson is one of the most profitable Independent film makers in Australia.
- Both his first two feature films have been self-funded. He got part-time work as a cleaner to pay the majority of The Nullarbor Nymph's budget.
- His film, The Nullarbor Nymph holds the record for the fastest selling movie session in Australia on May 22nd 2012. All tickets were sold in under twenty minutes, out beating Sex And The City 2 and Twilight.
- His films usually explore situations revolving around the theme of 'obsessions' by the main characters and therefore they may not survive the situation.
- My success rate has really been 50-50. I considered being a monk after I saw how often big egos would destroy a project.
