Matt McCormick is an American independent filmmaker based in Portland, Oregon who works in a variety of formats, including experimental documentary, music video and fictional narrative.
McCormick's films are typically observations about man's loss of individual humanity within the urban landscape. Of his short experimental documentary work, his most-noted film is 2001's The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal, a satirical piece that treats city workers' efforts to remove graffiti as the creation of a new art form.
As of this writing, he has directed just one feature-length film, the fictional narrative Some Days Are Better Than Others, which stars musician Carrie Brownstein and James Mercer.
In addition to his own filmmaking, McCormick also founded the Peripheral Produce video distribution company to release other filmmakers' efforts. Plus, he also created the PDX Film Festival that ran in Portland from 2001 to 2009.
