Biscuit Filmworks Signs Director Matthew Dillon Cohen to US & UK Rosters

Biscuit Filmworks today announced that filmmaker and photographer Matthew Dillon Cohen has signed to the company’s roster for commercial representation in the US and UK. Cohen is best known for his visual storytelling, with vivid colors and stunning cinematic realness.

Cohen’s latest film for Zach Bryan builds upon his previous collaborations with the artist, including the acclaimed “Nine Ball,” starring Matthew McConaughey. For the just-released “Oak Island,” the production moved east to Schenectady, New York to breathe life into the story starring Casey Affleck and Jack Martin. The inventive filmmaker continues to hone his distinctive eye through projects with other artists like Gus Dapperton, Joji, and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as international brands including Converse, Facebook, Citi, Prada, Nike x Foot Locker, Vogue, New Balance, and Ralph Lauren.

Cohen is a New Jersey-born, New York-based self-taught director and photographer who began his career in music journalism while still a teenager, moving on to become a music video producer while in college. His varied background and close collaboration with artists has served to provide him with a vast network of young emerging talent, many of whom he’s gone on to direct first-time films and visual content for over the past decade.

“Matt has a fascinating backstory and remarkable trajectory coming up in the industry,” said Shawn Lacy, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Biscuit Filmworks. “His connection to the talent he works with, paired with his keen sensibility, offers him an edge. We’re thrilled to be joining forces for this next phase of his career.”

“I love the problem-solving that comes with production, finding the most original and interesting way to tell a big story in a short amount of time,” said Cohen. “Biscuit is renowned for their support and investment in their directors; they operate at a very high level while maintaining a unique family-type feeling. They are open to the weird and the underground, and that’s the kind of work that I’m looking to do.”

“Matthew’s ability to tell a moving detailed narrative in a short amount of screen time is incredible,” commented Rupert Reynolds-MacLean, Managing Director at Biscuit Filmworks UK. “His work to date has impressed us immensely and we are very much looking forward to our partnership and the opportunities it will bring.”

Cohen is also represented by Anorak in Germany.
