The Duo Behind it all
Matt michalik
co-founder
four favourites:
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966), Chinatown (1974), Heat (1995), I Saw The Devil (2010)
Since a young age, Matt was always into film (whether he knew it or not). As soon as he acquired a camera and some overly ambitious ideas, there was no stopping him. From war films to cowboy epics in his backyard, Matt’s filmmaking journey evolved gradually until it was clear this was the path for him.
Matt has a Bachelor's Degree in Film and Television, graduating from JMC Academy in 2026. The birth of C47 Films developed right as Matt was apprehensive about leaving uni; organically forging the next step for him.
With a passion for writing, directing, editing and cinematography, Matt provides C47 films with a backbone in independent low-budget filmmaking and a creative pulse that never stops.
