Press "Though it may seem it's a lot to take in a mere 15 min, but it works. That's the key to short films, show us compelling storytelling in a short period of time. It should move us, it should make us want to care, it should give us what we ask for when we first enter the viewer experience. Performances were moving as well, "It's Me, Matthew", is another reason to hail short films as equals in emotional content, along side its sometimes heavy hitting visual effects cousins." - Cinema Without Borders "Ferreira makes skillful use of the flashback technique." - Cliff Bellam, The Herald Sun "Portuguese-American actor launches a short film that is semi-autobiographical." - Henrique Mano, Luso-Americano "At Anthology Film Archives. Michael Musto's performance as a detached therapist was a particular hit with the audience." - HX Magazine What People Are Saying!
"A must see. Michael Musto brings legendary drama to the role of predatory psychiatrist, and nails it! Michael Ferreira disappears expertly into his dual roles!" - Jesse Archer, Writer for Out Magazine "It's Me, Matthew! is a riveting story that illustrates some serious repercussions of child abuse. While it's a sad story, it's one that needs to be told–and viewed by as many people as possible." - Daylle Deanna Schwartz, author of 9 books, including Straight Talk with Gay Guys and Nice Girls Can Finish First. "Michael Ferreira manages to do what most can not…in a mere 15 minutes, he captures you. The story, actors, production quality and writing leave you wanting more. This in-depth story is something that we should all see at this crucial time. "It's Me, Matthew!" is a brilliant capsule of emotion and raw energy. I long to see this as a "feature!" - Traci Godfrey, Actress and National Director of Screen Actors Guild "There is no way to downplay the intense power of this film. As a psychotherapist I believe the film really nails down the point related to how traumas impact our lives and create imprints on our souls." - Scott Liff, Licensed Psychotherapist |
