Originally from New Jersey, I now live and work in Austin, TX. I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences in Radio-TV-Film and studied film at the Université Vincennes – Saint Denis in Paris. After graduation, I spent a year in Master Control at KCWX-TV San Antonio and some time in the editing room as well. After my brief stint in the studio world, I then moved on to equipment rentals at Mopac Media where I spent two years as head of Audio rentals. From there I became a freelancer and I’m currently an independent sound mixer with over 10 years of production experience in the film industry. Starting my career running cables as a utility or holding a parabolic mic at various sporting events including the 2014 Alamobowl, I have since worked on every kind of production imaginable. I have recorded several Sundance Selection films both narrative and documentary and have traveled the US with my craft. Accommodating, easy to work with and friendly, I’m the perfect addition to your next production!

I began my journey in high school when I purchased a Sony FX1 prosumer camera. From there, I gained my Avid Certification and began my professional career. I have shot everything from sports to commercial videos for multi-national clientele. My previous clients include but are not limited to CST, CSS, Tribune Media, Signal Marketing Group, and The Baddish Group. I thrive in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines. I like to be where the action is. Nothing is off limits for me when it comes to getting the shot. I believe in showing as much emotion as possible in every frame of video. Whether shooting a crime scene or a travel series, the emotion is there, and I will portray that in the best way possible. I shoot on the latest and greatest equipment in the industry. My weapon of choice, the Canon EOS Cinema series cameras with L-Series lenses.

I started making films when I was a teenager and shot some film for a TV station when I was in college. When digital video cameras came on the scene in the 1990s, my employer at the time, the Voice of America, began a program to provide video stories online and to affiliate stations around the world. I was the first correspondent to jump on that opportunity, in 1997, and continued shooting video until I retired in June, 2017. In most cases I shot the video and did the interviews for the story, then wrote it, voiced the narration and edited the package. Since then I have been involved in projects of my own and have shot video for a cosmetic commercial and for a YouTube channel host. I have also been involved in some film contests in Houston.

My name is Matt Locke and I've been working in the Austin film scene for about 6 years now. I started as a PA at TBD Post while I was still in film school and worked my way up to graphics editor. Wanting to focus on production, I started taking PA gigs and getting on set. I got to work on a lot of amazing commercials and music videos. Around the same time I was head of video production on Austin Radiological Association's internet advertising campaign where I learned heaps about making high-quality videos on a tiny budget. I took what I learned started Brilliant Boy Media with some fellow freelancers from film school and spent a few years making mini-docs and music videos for Austin bands. Most recently I was an assistant editor on "My 600lb Life" at Megalomedia.
