Maty Young Cinematography and Director reel
Welcome to YoungOneStudio, a vibrant reflection of my journey and commitment in the world of performing arts. Originating from Perth, Western Australia, I embarked on my path at the esteemed West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), driven by a passion for acting and music. Over the past two decades, I have made my mark on stages across Australia and internationally, both as an actor and a director, collaborating with peers from prestigious institutions like the National Institute of Dramatic Arts and the Victorian College of the Arts. In 2015, I launched YoungOneStudio in Melbourne, where I developed my skills as an actor and garnered acclaim as a theatre director. In 2018, I took a pivotal step by moving to Los Angeles to delve into film and digital media. Recognizing the need for today's modern creators and actors to be multifaceted, I dedicated myself to mastering cinematography. This skill has been crucial in enhancing my directorial communication and extracting compelling performances from my actors. My focused approach in these areas has led to directing and filming award-winning projects, from feature films and commercials to music videos, earning recognition on platforms like HBO MAX and NETFLIX. My efforts in cinematography and directing have been internationally recognized, receiving awards at prestigious film festivals such as the Festival de Cannes, the Berlin Film Festival, and the New York Film Festival. Now based in North Hollywood, I continue to steer YoungOneStudio, advocating that contemporary artists should excel not only in acting but also in cinematography and directing. This integration of skills empowers them to shape the narrative profoundly. Join me on this journey of continual learning and artistic exploration. Welcome to the heart of my evolving cinematic world.
