For starters, my name is Matt and welcome to The Oscar Code! I have been passionate about film ever since I was a young kid. I remember being intrigued by what was behind the box (or television set) every time I watched a show or film growing up. That curiosity led to a passion, which led me to be apart of the Television Productions class at my high school and then pursued film in college.

However, while I did some freelancing after my undergraduate career, it proved to be difficult finding a full time job in film production. I ended up finding work as a Quality Engineer. While the work proved to be difficult at first, I ended up getting the hang of it and have been working in that field for a decade now. That career choice led me to pursue my MBA, PMP (Project Management Professional), and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certificates. All of those combined introduced me to a skillset that helped me find trends and make everyday decisions based on data.

I have combined my passion of film and my career working with data to create The Oscar Code. I have watched the Academy Awards annually since middle school. I was shocked in my early years of watching why certain films beat more well known and more acclaimed films every year. College was where I discovered the guild process. If a certain film wins particular guilds, it will likely win Best Picture. I look forward to showing this process through case studies, podcasts, and videos.
