Nellie Bly Workman

Matt Pniewski has always had a passion for stories. B-Films, Comic Books, and Fairy Tales made up much of his childhood. Always an avid reader, he was knee deep in novels while his classmates were still stuck on Goosebumps books. Growing up in a lower middle class family, his vacations generally stayed within the Midwest. Camping, Hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities made up most summers, along with a trip or two to Folk music festivals. At those shows, he spent most time listening to the story tellers or assisting with the children's booths. During High School, he started experimenting with a VHS camcorder to come up with silent, Stop Motion shorts and simple special effects. It wasn't until many year later that he decided he would try to make his passion a career. A skilled director, editor, and animator, he works on a for-hire basis to finance his own short films.
