Haveahartman is more than just a moniker for Rocky Mountain based filmmaker Matthew Hartman. It’s a way of life.

Born in Denver and raised by painters and writers, Hartman has been an artist since a very young age. After growing up playing hockey, drawing A LOT and watching cartoons in Minnesota, he moved to London where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts. During his studies he discovered stop-motion animation which he lovingly describes as the combination of practical fine art and digital filmmaking. The creation of his thesis stop-motion film “25a” exposed him to a whole new world of artistic processes; editing, sound design, music, cinematography, and most importantly story. Haveahartman’s obsession with filmmaking was instantaneous and he has not lost the fine art passion, continuing to practice photography and illustration as well as directing both live action and animation films.

After moving to New York City in 2007 Hartman compiled over 16 years of post production and editorial experience at some of the worlds top edit houses and post facilities. He continues to work with top agencies, brands, directors and production companies either from his home studio in Evergreen, CO, on set or wherever in the world is most convenient for the client and project. Whether its a tv commercial, music video, documentary or a feature film, he approaches all projects with a passion for pushing creative and a true love of the craft of filmmaking.

Matthew is always looking for new opportunities to collaborate.
