Charlie graduated from Hope College with a B.A. in Psychology in 2002. Soon after Hope he graduated from Compass Academy in Grand Rapids Michigan, with a certificate in filmmaking and storytelling. In 2003 Matz moved to Southern California to work with mentor Bub Kuns and together they founded The Veracity Project. In late 2005 Matz produced and directed “Pub” – a documentary following Christian musicians into the pubs of Ireland as they attempted to implement “pub evangelism” (named 2007 Outreach Magazine DVD Resource of the Year Finalist). That same year he produced “The Body of Anna Williams” a high budget short film directed by Bub Kuns. Together Matz and Kuns have produced over 400 videos for the local church. In late 2003 they decided to broaden their audience and began producing shorts for the film festival circuit and the Church at large. Many of those projects have been nominated for awards. The most recent endeavor was “Haircut”, a short that Kuns and Matz co-directed for the Global Short Film Network. Matz also teaches a Church Media Director’s course at Biola University to undergrads interested in working within the Church as a film ministry leader. Charlie currently lives in Buena Park, CA with his wife Kristina and son David. 
Charlie on “Unthinkable” – This film was really born in the heart of Joey O’Connor the Founder and Executive Director of The Grove Center for the Arts & Media.  The idea was simple, find stories of inspiration and put them on film to encourage the body. Joey picked up a running magazine the next day and read an article about Scott. The very next day Joey called Scott and asked him if we could shoot a short documentary on his story. Scott said yes. Joey asked me to help Grove Films and Direct the piece. I said yes, totally willing to participate in a story that continues to remind us that God is God and we are not. The unthinkable is possible in His power and Grace!
