b'Raised in the\\xa0fundamentalist Christian subculture of\\xa0the Bible Belt, cinematographer Nicholas Matthews fell in love with storytelling as a child\\xa0to explore life outside the confines of that perspective. It evolved into a\\xa0fascination with telling regional stories about fringe ideologies and marginalized people.Recently, he\'s filmed projects in\\xa0Japan, France, Mexico and across the US. The Hollywood Reporter praised his use of "expansive widescreen" and "adept long takes" on the\\xa02018\\xa0Dances with Films Grand Jury Prize winner.\\xa0The L.A. Times called his work on border thriller\\xa0The Boatman\\xa0"more art film than action film; deliberately paced, skillfully shot, emotionally challenging."\\xa0He\'s worked with artists ranging from\\xa0Ice Cube\\xa0to\\xa0Rise Against,\\xa0as well as brands including\\xa0Jack in the Box, T-Mobile,\\xa0and\\xa0Specialized Bikes.\\xa0He thrives on collaboration in finding each film\'s unique voice.'
