REVIEWS:
"If you are a fan of love and sentiment do not read Matthew Coleman. He is the Henry Miller, DeSade and D.H. Lawrence of dismantling intimacy in search of its truths. His works read like Joyce's unfettered letters to Nora....Microscopically observing, examining each vivisection. He takes a hammer, smashing concupiscence into its every fetid and perfidious shard...shattering it into a thousand little razor edged pieces for the reader to reasemble. Read him, but read him at your risk; with the caveat that you wear safety glasses."
-- Steve Vermillion, Freelance Journalist, San Francisco, California
"An enemy of all that's sacred, and a heartbreaker of low tactics, Matthew Coleman a.k.a. The Enfant Terrible relentlessly soils the internet's holiest lands and heavens with his spurts of wicked Freudian textual violence. On the prowl in films, lurking between magazine pages, lying in online ambush or breathing funny in real lifeback alleys, he's the artist your mother warned you about (with a moist glint in her eye, though). Run for your life and reputation, or for your tissue box, males and females."
-- Vim Cortez, Editor-in-Chief, Paris Bitter Hearts Pit
"A no-holds-barred, dice and splatter, post-modern regurgitation of pulp, trash, porn and all that is down-right dirty."
-- Lee Rourke, Editor-in-Chief, Scarecrow
"The Enfant Terrible is a latter-day Divine Marquis for the hipster Offbeat Generation. A ballsy Ronald Firbank with knobs on and a broad grin on his bewhiskered chops. He is the bastard offspring of Valmont and Sid James, the missing link between libertinage and the saucy seaside postcard. Think Philosophy in the Boudoir shot by the Carry On team -- with the dodgy philosophy dumped over the end of the pier. Think priapic prose and textual harassment. All hail the Lord of the Unbuttoned Flies!”
-- Andrew Gallix, Editor-in-Chief, 3:AM Magazine

SHORT FILM TRAILER

Mind Shadows is a short film and my directorial debut.
It is about the obsession of love, of clinging to something
that has ended, of the multiple dualities of man and
woman as the scales shift and swirl perpetually.

It can ever only result in one way . . . .
