MATTHEW DILLON COHEN LANDS AT BISCUIT.
12 September 2024

Matthew Dillon Cohen wants to get weird and go underground as Biscuit Filmworks' newest director. "That's the kind of work that I'm looking to do," he says, "and Biscuit are renowned for their support and investment in their directors.

He likes that Biscuit "operate at a very high level while maintaining a unique family-type feeling", letting him focus on what he loves most about the job: "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."


Keen to help Cohen reach those solutions is UK managing director Rupert Reynolds-MacLean, who says: "Matthew's ability to tell a moving, detailed narrative in a short amount of screen time is incredible. His work to date has impressed us immensely and we are very much looking forward to our partnership and the opportunities it will bring."


Matthew's connection to the talent he works with, paired with his keen sensibility, offers him an edge.

 ”

Cohen also joins the US roster, much to the delight of co-founder and managing director Shawn Lacy: "Matt has a fascinating backstory and remarkable trajectory coming up in the industry. "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."
