About Matt Solyst
I am currently a Sr. Coordinator in the Creative Advertising, Post-Production, department at Paramount Pictures. Here is my trailer editing reel: As for my industry history. I started my career with the Fox Broadcasting Company, working as an Assistant in the Broadcast Standards & Practices department. My next position with Fox was working as a Coordinator for 20th Century Fox Film, in the Creative Advertising department. My final position at Fox was working as a Creative Assistant in the Consumer Products department. I left Fox in 2012 and began temping primarily on the Sony lot in Culver City. The non-Sony companies that I also temped for were: Exclusive Media, Roth Films and Apostle Pictures. My notable temp assignments at Sony Pictures Entertainment are listed below-For nine months, I assisted the Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions department-For two months, I assisted the Sony Digital Marketing department-For three months, I assisted a SVP and EVP of TriStar Film & Television. In 2014, I was offered a contract employee position at Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions, working on the marketing team for AFFIRM Films. I remained at this position until I departed for Paramount Pictures in 2015 - where I currently am today! I am also very passionate about writing for both film and television. I primarily write both TV and feature Millennial-geared comedies - where the hero is typically a teenage or 20-something female (in the vein of Mean Girls, 500 Days of Summer, Broad City, Pitch Perfect, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, etc.)- but I also occasionally branch out to other fun and marketable genres as well. My humble brag is that I was awarded Runner-up at the 2015 JHRTS TV Pilot Script Competition.
