Matt & Vince started filmmaking together at school, and have since written on multiple BBC shows, including CBBC flagship show, The Dumping Ground. Matt & Vince directed fantasy drama Handle with Care, co-written and starring children in foster care. The film won ‘Best Short’ and ‘Best Production Craft’ at the Royal Television Society awards, and was described by bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson as “an extraordinary film – hard-hitting, imaginative and darkly funny”.
They are co-creators and executive producers for Nickelodeon’s live-action adventure series, Rock Island Mysteries. Broadcast globally on Nickelodeon in 2022, the show was immediately recommissioned for a second series (released 2023), and then for a third series, to be released in 2025. The show was in Nickelodeon’s Top Five International shows for both seasons 1 & 2.
Original features include Trolled, a Gremlins-esque adventure about online bullying, and The Lake, about two young brothers dealing with loss and a lakeside monster, which was a semi-finalist in the prestigious Nicholl Fellowship competition.
