Matthew Long writes and directs short films that weave science fiction into unexpected settings. Born July 7, 1982 in Prince George, British Columbia, he operates from Vancouver as a screenwriter, director, and producer. His early work, The Great Retro-Chic Revival (2005), won Leo Awards for Best Student Production and Best Direction in a Student Film. Trans Neptune: or The Fall of Pandora (2007) premiered at Cannes and later won the Gerry Brunet Memorial Award at the Vancouver Queer Film Festival. The Anachronism (2008) marked his deepest critical recognition: the steampunk short won seven Leo Awards including Best Short Drama, Best Screenwriting in a Short Drama, Best Overall Sound, Best Musical Score, Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design.
