Matthew Clysdale is an independent videographer living and working in Kalamazoo, Michigan. ANIMALS AMONG US is his first wildlife documentary.

Matthew received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1989, where he majored in sculpture and began his exploration into video during his senior year. Upon returning to his hometown Kalamazoo, he began working at the Whole Art Theater, first as the curator of the Theater's BLUE MOON GALLERY/CAFE, and later in all facets of theatrical production, both on and off stage. This decade long tenure in theater proved to be the foundation for Matthew's career in storytelling, and permanent shift into the cinematic format.
