April 2017
Matthew was great to work with and filmed with us for ten days, for a half -hour CNN travel show in Quebec. Prior to our shoots, he was easy to communicate with and very helpful. While on the ground, Matthew had a keen and creative eye and also helped me book a last minute segment for the show, when one segment fell through. I look forward to working with him again!

In the African wilderness, there's no such thing as a free lunch. It's a world where predator and prey are equally matched. And a worthwhile meal means going up against gut-gouging horns, venomous fangs, stampeding hooves, and sharp canines. Take a front row seat and witness the bouts of lion vs. Cape buffalo, mongoose vs. mamba snake, leopard vs. baboon, and other wild clashes.
