The MWS Youtube has been updated with a video interview with the director Ben Myers. In the segment he mentions Matthew and his role as the reporter. He starts discussing Matt at 43 seconds, view the video in the video archive!
Matt plays the reporter in the film, and he is fantastic, it was really exciting watching him play the character. He is such an intuitive and natural actor, probably because he’s been doing it for so long from such a young age.
When we were looking to make some changes to the film, about little things like increasing the pace, getting a bit more across to the audience a little bit faster so we could really get into the meat of the story right at the start of the film. We decided to change the beginning. [Its not really a spoiler to say we’re using a bit of voiceover is it?] We wanted Matt to come in and do some recording which has [long pause].. The voiceover that Matt’s recorded helps to drive the story, it has enabled us to take lots of little bits from the film and give a lot more information in a short space of time. Not so its a detriment to the story at all, it actually adds a lot more to his character and the way his character sees the world.
