TESTIMONIALS

Matt's extensive industry knowledge and expertise and his generosity and infectious enthusiasm for his subject are really inspiring for our BA Film and TV students at LCC.  His Crowdfunding sessions have proved to be essential additions to our third year curriculum  and we look forward to involving him with other year groups in the future.

Matt Harlock has taught on the MA filmmaking course at Sheffield Hallam University on a regular basis since 2016. Matt covers the areas of project inception, development & presentation, marketing and packaging. Matt brings fresh industry insights and energy to his teaching that in turn galvanises and motivates the students. It has been a pleasure working with him and student feedback is consistently good.
Colin Pons, MA Filmmaking Sheffield Hallam University, Course Leader

Thank you for your participation in the Skillset and Doc/Fest – Film & TV Launch pad event. We all really enjoyed your keynote speech, and students found it incredibly inspiring. We really appreciate you taking the time to come and talk to the students.
Siobhan Bligh, Sheffield DocFest, Events Exec

A real example of the get-up-and-go, make-it-happen, forge-your-way-through attitude. He made a remarkable film about Bill Hicks which went on to huge festival success. What I think is rare about him is that he’s happy to talk about the parts others don't - to explain, in detail, exactly how that happened - the brilliant Matt Harlock.
