MATT CASCELLA (Story Producer/Editor) was a hyperactive child. Thankfully when he was 12 years old, a camcorder fell into his hands and he was immediately lovestruck. After many scrappy short films and a BA in Directing from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, Matt stumbled into the world of documentary at Maysles Films in Harlem, where he had the pleasure of getting yelled at by Albert Maysles for bad boom operating. Since then, Matt's work has been nominated for two Emmys (Netflix's Long Shot and ESPN's Run Mama Run) and a Critic's Choice Award (The Atlantic Selects' The Unconditional), and has premiered at Sundance (I Am Yup’ik / 2016), Tribeca (Run Mama Run / 2017 & ESPN’S Enhanced / 2018), and Telluride (Long Shot / 2017).
