I’m an independent documentary filmmaker currently deep in production on a film about a quietly famous, unforgettably gifted musician: Matt Osborne.
If you were part of the Southwestern Ontario indie music scene in the ’90s and early 2000s, you probably have a Matt Osborne story. His talent was undeniable, his struggles were real, and the community he built around him was fiercely loyal and his life was too short. Matthew died in his sleep just short of his 32nd birthday on April 23, 2004.
I’m making this film to ensure Matt’s story—and the broader story of that golden era of local music—isn’t lost to time.
But documentary filmmaking isn’t a solo endeavour; it requires a community. I call it crowd-sourced preservation Right now, the best way you can support this film is simply by joining me in the Director’s Circle for free.
