(Matthew M. Foster) matthew (at) fosteronfilm (dot) com has never been convicted of killing any of the many quasi-filmmakers who create abominations on celluloid each year. He is, however, in favor of such heroic acts. What can be more criminal than burying must-see gems in mountains of video trash? He’s made it his job to uncover the art. Does that sound arrogant? Good. Who needs a wishy-washy critic?

Matthew is the director of the Dragon*Con Independent Film Festival, which annually brings filmmakers, features, and the best in short film to Atlanta, Georgia. He is a frequent panelist on film criticism and history, has been a judge at multiple fests, and even acts as an emcee. He reviews short films for ShortoftheWeek.com and writes and maintains a film criticism website, FosteronFilm.com.
