Filmmaker Matthew Barton Signs to Generator

Matthew was recently selected as an unsigned future talent by the Beak Street Bugle, and we were instantly drawn to his soulful, brooding imagery and compelling subject matters.

After ten years learning how to speak Geordie up in Newcastle  he defaulted back to his city of birth, London, to study Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts and re-familiarise himself with the Queen’s English.

Experimental projects ensued and after finding himself out on a limb on the mean streets of south London Matthew began to shoot docs and music videos for his eclectic art school friends.

Recent projects have included a music video for an old school friend Nadine Shah, tour diaries for Friendly Fires and a promo for Welsh three-piece outfit La Corvette involving placing a 65-year-old very much in harm’s way at the mercy of the raging seas. He's also been fortunate enough to work with brands such as Vice, Dazed & Confused and Esquire Magazine.
