Welcome! You made it to Mat Sly’s Portfolio.
I’m a screenwriter and I’ve worn many hats in my career. I’ve gone from Art Historian, to bartender, to Videographer to the Prime Minister of Canada, to a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. I’ve sampled a great many experiences. But what am I most passionate about? What gets me out of bed in the morning? Story. From the very beginning I’ve been writing. Mostly screenplays. But if you’ve made it this far you knew that already. So without further ado…
