Biography

Matt Brookens comes from Springfield, Illinois, known as the land of Lincoln and corn dogs. There, he and his younger brother Greg started creating movie ideas to escape the monotony of living in what might be the most ordinary city in the country. Even as preteens, the Brookens brothers wrote, directed, filmed, and edited their darkly humorous movies featuring themes of murder, drugs, and monkeys.

Dissatisfied with pursuing a fine art degree in Springfield, Matt relocated to Chicago to attend Columbia College, where he earned a BA in film in 1999. Together, the brothers have produced numerous short films and received many awards. Titles like Roni vs. Lincoln, Of Bass and Men, and notably Skunk Ape!? have all earned recognition and acclaim on the festival circuit. Skunk Ape!? secured distribution through Troma Entertainment in 2004 after winning "Best of Tromadance." Most recently, Matt finished principal photography on his first feature film, The Art of Pain, a dark comedy/action HD project. He also illustrated a children's book titled I Have Five Senses and works as a graphic artist to cover living expenses. To satisfy his musical interests, Matt plays guitar in Chicago nerd-punk band Dr. Killbot. He enjoys cold Hostess cherry pies and watching meerkats.
