About Matt Zodrow

Matt Zodrow is an award winning Filmmaker with 4 Emmy Awards for his documentary work with PBS and the digital program, Dogs of Destiny. Matt started his career as a comic book illustrator in the late 80\'s before becoming an animation cell painter for Colossal Pictures in San Francisco. There, exposure to such productions as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Natural Born Killers confirmed Matt\'s love of animation, design, and film. As time passed, rising through the ranks of creative agencies would lead Matt to the position of Lead Interactive Designer for Portland based animation studio, Flying Rhino. Unfortunately, a downturn in the economy would soon take its toll on the animation industry in Portland, causing shortages in work and closing the doors of many studios. In response, Matt turned his skills to directing and editing live action commercials for some of Portland\'s biggest agencies. His time behind the camera would lead him to producing documentaries, creating productions for The Travel Channel and The Discovery Channel before becoming a Creative Director for PBS in Tampa Florida. There, Matt would lead the production on several documentaries, acquiring 11 Emmy nominations and winning 3 Emmy Awards during his tenure. Returning home to Portland in 2011, Matt and his creative partner, Tracy MacDonlad, created the arts-and-culture television program, Go! Northwest for CBS - garnering two Emmy nominations in it\'s first season. As of March, 2016, Matt accepted a position as Director of Multimedia for CollegeNet in Portland, Oregon.
