Get To Know Matt Macedo
Profile
🎬 Time for another “Get To Know Your Favs” — and this round, we’re spotlighting the talented Matt Macedo! 🙌✨
If you’ve been in the Vert Community for a while, chances are you’ve already seen at least one of Matt’s series — he’s been behind some of the most iconic titles in the game. 💯
🎥 Matt’s love for cinema started early — he began writing short stories at just 12, and by 17 he had already created his first documentary. Just 3 years later, he produced his debut film, “Drug of Choice,” which was officially selected at the Reno Tahoe International Film Festival. 🎞️👏
🏆 He went on to win multiple awards at the Hanford Film Festival for his short film “Our Ocean,” including Best Short Film and Best Director. Legend behavior!
In the Vertical World, Matt is known for directing fan-faves like:
🐺 The Unwanted Mate
💔 Stealing My Alpha’s Heart
🖤 Loathed by The Alpha
👶 The Billion Dollar Baby
—all streaming now on ShortMax!
I personally discovered his work through The Unwanted Mate — still one of my favorite werewolf verticals to this day. (Also, my first Vert starring Alpha Eric 👀)
Matt and Eric have teamed up a few times… and let’s just say that last answer in the Q&A might make more sense now 😏
Huge thanks to Matt for taking the time to answer our questions — we can’t wait to see more of your amazing projects! 🖤🎬
