Born and raised in Kansas, Matt Mendoza has gained quite the notoriety for his go-anywhere, do-anything attitude. Among his credits are Producer, Director, Editor, Director of Photography, Still Photographer, Production Assistant, Craft Services Coordinator, Grip, and "Weird Guy." A loyal Jayhawk and filmic "multi-instrumentalist," Mendoza has now turned to documentaries to satisfy his lust for riches and adventure. When he's not behind a camera or in a desk, he writes, blogs, reads, paints, DJs, drinks coffee, and works at a soccer pub in Lawrence. He is also the founder of Rocky Smooth Productions, a production company specializing in documentaries.
