About the Director
About Matthew Mishory, Writer/Director Filmmaker Matthew Mishory’s work has been shown at major film festivals and art galleries around the world (from London to New York to Reykjavik to São Paulo) and permanently installed at the British Film Institute’s National Film Archive in London. JOSHUA TREE, 1951 is his feature film debut. In 2009, Matthew directed DELPHINIUM: A CHILDHOOD PORTRAIT OF DEREK JARMAN, a stylized and lyrical coming-of-age portrait of legendary painter, filmmaker, and activist Derek Jarman’s artistic and sexual awakening in 1950s England. The film had its world premiere at the Reykjavik International Film Festival in Iceland, its UK premiere at the Raindance Film Festival in London, and its California premiere at the Frameline International Film Festival in San Francisco. DELPHINIUM won the Eastman Kodak Grand Prize for Best Short Film at the 2010 United States Super 8 and DV Film Festival. Following two sold-out screenings at the British Film Institute in 2011, it was permanently installed in the BFI’s National Film Archive in the special collection Beautiful Things. Previously, Matthew s short film NICK AND KATE screened in competition at Filminute 2008, one of 25 selections culled from a field of nearly 2,000 by a jury that included two-time Oscar winner Paul Haggis and German film critic Andrea Dittgen. He also directed the fine art commission THE MARIONETTES, shot entirely with miniatures. In September 2009, Matthew traveled to Iceland, where he was invited to participate in the Transatlantic Talent Laboratory. A program held in conjunction with the film festival and intended for young filmmakers preparing to direct a first feature film, the Talent Lab is where Matthew first developed JOSHUA TREE, 1951. Master class instructors included Cannes award winners Giorgos Lanthimos, Jessica Hausner, and João Pedro Rodrigues, and Oscar nominee Friðrik Þór Friðriksson. Matthew previously studied Film Theory and Screenwriting at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and received a J.D. (Juris Doctor) in law from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.
