WHO IS MATIAS BREUER?

Where are you from again? 

I am half Paraguayan, half Lebanese, and was born in Asuncion, Paraguay. I lived in 5 different countries before graduating high school (Paraguay, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Peru and the US). 

I received my BA in film from Vassar College, then moved to Greensboro, NC and Washington, DC before relocating to Los Angeles where I am currently based.

​

Remind me - what have you made and what are you interested in exploring with your work? 

In my freelance work, I have edited projects for clients such as National Geographic, Instagram, College Humor, Film 14, Orange Theory Fitness, Opera Lafayette, as well as various social media creators. 

I have written and directed several music videos and short films, including the upcoming queer thriller STINK and the award-winning Tri Ciga. The feature film I wrote and directed, Here On Out, earned the audience choice award at FirstGlance Film Fest LA and was distributed with Gravitas Ventures. It is now available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Paramount+, and more. 

​

I love the horror genre and think it’s a fun and visceral lens through which to investigate universal fears and primal needs. Through my narrative work, I aim to tell specific and intimate queer stories about people craving connection, struggling with their identities and with expressing their masculinity. 

OK let’s get down to the question on everybody’s lips: What are your hobbies?

Great question! I spend my free time watching movies, exploring the outdoors, painting, writing, and going on runs. I got scuba-certified fairly recently, and have loved exploring that new skill in dive sites around California. This year I hope to train for a half marathon and take up some fun activity like rock-climbing or even dare I say surfing.
