Matthew Dean McClure is a writer born in Arcadia, California. Over the past decade he has worked with Academy Award winning actor, Geoffrey Rush, where he adeptly learned how great actors tick.
A graduate from University of Southern California, Matthew has been optioned and hired to write on multifaceted projects for TV and film. Matthew's ongoing vision to reinvent his love for all things film noir gives him a thrilling edge that stands out from the pack.
Matthew (aka: Matteus) hails from the San Gabriel Valley, a stone's throw away from The Great Race Place, Santa Anita. His home turf reveals a driving gravitas for writing hardboiled characters you'd read about in a Donald Westlake or Raymond Chandler novel, gripping us with white hot plots, rendering Elmore Leonard to turn the page.
A USC grad in Philosophy, McClure's variant on the pulp legacy takes a fierce dive into human nature than handed down from Aristotle and Socrates. Like his cinema idol, Jean Paul Melville, Matteus is a pasticheur, a noir relativist, as content to riff on John Wayne doing Shakespeare while drifting cool like Alain Deon in Le Samurai, in a world far more complicated for Plato.
Two most influential films: The Black Stallion (Francis Ford Coppola), and The Elephant Man (David Lynch). McClure vividly remembers seeing both at the old Rialto Theater in South Pasadena. The Capra-esk sentimental vision shook him to the core which metastasized quickly into the auteur he has become today.
