Matthew is a final-year student at Glasgow Caledonian University, pursuing a BA (Hons) in International Marketing. He has contributed to *The Edit*, the university’s student paper, where his passion for writing and storytelling shines through. His connection with film began early, thanks to his dad introducing him—perhaps a bit too young—to movies like Collateral, Rambo, and Terminator 2. That early exposure sparked a lasting love for cinema that continues to grow.
