Dagmar Benke from Berlin's Script House was widely acknowledged as a European master in the art of script editing - the process of assisting writers tell the best stories they are capable of writing. Matthew was fortunate enough to earn his Binger Filmlab Script Editing Certificate under Dagmar's tutelage, six months before her untimely death from cancer.

Since that time he has worked with writers on both short and feature scripts, and delights in the 'forensic' work involved in helping authors find the paths of greatest authenticity within their own stories.
