About Me

All hail the Ayatollah of the Moviola! You've reached Matthew Saliba's Official MySpace Profile, your one-stop shop to get all the latest scoops on the man whose sublime countenance and unequivocal masculinity is only exceeded by the swollen snakebite between his legs.
First and foremost, I'm a filmmaker. I've made four short films to date:
VAMPYROS LESBOS (2008), 20 mins, 35mm
Starring: Matthew Saliba, Isabelle Stephen, Kitty Daly, Kayden Rose and Denis Coupal.
Matthew Saliba's VAMPYROS LESBOS is a sado-erotic homage to the 1971 Jess Franco film, told in STILL IMAGES a la Chris Marker's sci-fi classic LA JETÃ‰E.
Starring indy film scream queens Isabelle Stephen and Kitty Daly and shot by award-winning photographer Mario Carangi, VAMPYROS LESBOS tells the story of Linda, a bored and lonely housewife whose excursion into a world of sexual liberation with her lover Countess Nadine is tragically cut short when her cuckolded husband Omar brutally murders Nadine and then proceeds to give Linda what she really needs... a good "deep-dicking!"
The VAMPYROS LESBOS DVD is available for $15 CAN ($18 CAN including shipping).
If you're interested in purchasing a copy, please contact me directly and we'll set an order up. Payments can be made by CHECK or MONEY ORDER.
If you're more comfortable using CREDIT CARDS or PAYPAL, you can buy a DVD through SoundCentral .
SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT (2007), 12 mins, 35mm
Starring: Matthew Saliba, Danay Cragaris and Leela Marcelino.
Dario Argento meets Maria Beatty in this sado-erotic giallo about a young man who is tortured, humiliated and raped by two women and then proceeds to inflict the kind of vengeance that gives new meaning to the term "torture-porn." This subversive tale of rape-and-revenge is told in STILL IMAGES a la Chris Marker's sci-fi classic LA JETÃ‰E.
PANDORA'S PARADOX (2004), 24 mins, 16mm
Starring: Joseph Ranger, Danielle Berthiaume, John M. Thomas, Mark Evin, Shelley Stevens, Elias C. Varoutsos, Glen Alexander and Paul Rogic.
An old woman gives birth to a giant toe, which once fed milk, hatches into a young boy whose mind is forever fucked one fateful night when he walks in on his parents' rendition of "Dial K for Kinky." Determined to escape the sexual and mental abuse of the scene, he decides to return home to the womb but quickly learns that getting back there, doesn't come without a price!
THE MANIPULATOR AND THE SUBSERVIENT (2003), 11 mins, 16mm
Starring: Matthew Saliba, Leela Marcelino, Elias C. Varoutsos, John M. Thomas, Danielle Berthiaume and Mark Evin.
A fetishistic love story of a young cuckold and his unrequited lover and how his retreat into a self-induced psychogenic fugue in which the two are actually a couple falls apart driving the young cuckold insane with the knowledge that even in dreams he can never be with the one he loves.
My films combine elements of sado-eroticism (which is to say the erotic representation of sadomasochistic imagery) and horror. It seems to be a winning combination as all four of my films have been very well received by critics and fans alike snagging awards and screenings at prestigious film festivals around the world.
Besides being a filmmaker, I'm also an actor, a model, a playwright, a stand-up comedian, a gentleman, and a gentle man.
I'm represented by the AVIEL TALENT agency so for bookings, auditions, questions please contact Mr. Aviel at Tel. 514-288-8885 or by email at [email protected]
Of course, you can always drop me a line too! ;)
