Matthew Mishory

Co-Founder & Director

"Matthew Mishory has managed to capture an austere beauty of a kind little known and little understood by all but the likes of Baudelaire." -- Film International

Film/commercial director + Iconoclastic co-founder Matthew Mishory was named a “rising talent” by Variety. He shot the "Powerful Performance" and “Enjoy More” campaigns for TCL, both starring NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. “Powerful Performance” was featured during the 2019 Super Bowl broadcast. He has also directed TV and digital spots for top brands such as Turkish Airlines, Pfizer, and Icelandic Glacial Water. His acclaimed documentary Absent was designated a “must-see” film by Cineuropa and named one of the top ten films of the year by Cinemaldito. Other recent doc credits include Fioretta and Who Are the Marcuses?, featuring Warren Buffett.

Matthew's 2018 film No Place of Exile, about the modernist composer and pianist Artur Schnabel, premiered on the Arte network. The film was shot in Switzerland, Italy, Vienna, and Berlin, utilizing unexpected textures (super8, drone footage, back-projection) and the great German actor Udo Samel to chart Schnabel's course through the emotional and physical landscapes of the European 20th century. Matthew's feature film debut, the 35mm Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean was released theatrically in the United States, the UK, and Germany. The San Francisco Chronicle declared Joshua Tree “mesmerizing and sexy”, and Artforum pronounced it “a nuanced portrayal of an entire era.” Previously, Matthew's short film, Delphinium, about the legendary artist Derek Jarman, was permanently installed in the British Film Institute's National Film Archive. The film was subsequently re-released in the UK by the BFI as part of the year-long Jarman2014 celebration. In 2017, it was presented by the Tate Britain Museum in London.
