WATCH EMMY-NOMINATED* EPISODE BELOW OF "THE POST COGNITIVE" CALLED "THE TEXTBOOK (2006)", WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY MATTHEW MUHL!
In the wake of "Deadly Cinema", I wanted to write and direct something that was on a more serious note. In this emmy-nominated* episode of "The Post Cognitive" (which also aired on "North Texas Television"), a 1963 high school teacher obtains a textbook published in the future, and he must discover the truth about it before the assassination of President Kennedy takes place in downtown Dallas! Original score by Andrew Muhl.

WATCH CLIP BELOW OF "BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE ENCHANTMENT UNDER THE SEA DANCE REVISITED (2005)", EDITED BY MATTHEW MUHL!
This is a project that I've always had on the back-burner, and, when I had the oppurtunity, I finally did it: Wonder what it would be like to watch Parts I and II of "Back to the Future" synched up on a split-screen during which both Marty McFlys are together? Here's your answer! Disclaimer: Time gaps are due to logical off-screen action. (15 min)

WATCH BONUS CLIP BELOW OF "MATTHEW MUHL'S IDENTIFICATION VIDEO (1985)"!
This is me when I was four, being interviewed about myself in the event of being lost or kidnapped. Now, more than 20 years later, I still possess the same inhibiting motor skills. (2 min)
