Matthew Stogdon

Born into a London Irish home, Matthew has always been very proud of his North London / West Ireland heritage. Unfortunately for him, he was dragged kicking and screaming to Norwich at the tender age of fifteen and immediately hated it. But after a decade and a half he's come to finally appreciate his dwellings. To describe his attitude as a director, we have combined seven key attributes into one all-encompassing description: uncompromising, grumpy, opinionated, stubborn, self deprecating, insecure visionary. Outside of Cheesemint, Matthew has been reviewing films officially since 2004. This has included work for magazines such as SFX and Neo but he prefers to release his analyses unfiltered on his own website: The Red Right Hand. Additionally, since 2009, he has been operating a popular film quiz at Norwich's Cinema City. Details on how to take part can be found on his site.
