About me

Matt Losasso is a film director and editor with a background in motion graphics and visually striking commercials and promos.

Following a string short dramas he directed and co-wrote the feature film Row (2025), an ambitious psychological thriller set at sea. Drawing on his years of experience in high-end short-form work for TV, Matt devised innovative visual effects to bring the story to life before directing on location in Scotland. He also edited the film. As an independent feature, Row required a completely original approach to shooting on open water and assembling the narrative in the edit. Row, his debut feature, premiered at the Raindance Festival 2025, where it was nominated for four awards including Best UK Director, Best UK Performance, and Best UK Cinematographer. It went on to win the festival's coveted award for Best UK Feature.

Already a multi-award-winning director for his work in promos and commercials, Matt has delivered more than 100 high-end commissions for TV and cinema. His portfolio spans a diverse range of broadcast and digital media.
