BIO

G’day my name is Matt Deavin and I’m a Sydney based filmmaker. Predominantly known as a DOP and operator, I also have a background in directing, editing and producing.

Throughout my career, I have been exposed to various parts of the industry including broadcast TV (reality and lifestyle), corporate work, branded content, TVCs, Live OB and longer format documentaries.

Preferring to work in the documentary space, my passion is to tell human stories that intersect with the natural world. I’ve had the privilege of working with some amazing clients such as Qantas, Rolex, Tourism Australia, Disney, Audi, Mazda, Getty Images and some major TV networks like channels 7, 9 & 10, SBS, Sky News and Fox Sports.

When not behind a camera or at the edit suite, I enjoy spending time in nature – surfing, hiking, camping, socialising and staying active.

Passionate, reliable and committed to delivering exceptional content, I love all things production and get great satisfaction in providing the best work for my clients.
