To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to recommend Matthew Devlin for admission to your film program. I had the opportunity to work with Matthew on a few music videos and shorts, and throughout our collaboration, he demonstrated the creative instincts, technical ability, and professionalism that I believe will make him an excellent addition to your program. Matthew has a strong understanding of how cinematography can serve a story and create an emotional experience. On the REV - Bond music video, he brought a thoughtful visual approach to the work while remaining open to collaboration and the evolving needs of the production. He understands that good cinematography is not simply about creating beautiful images, but about making choices that support the artist, the director, and the larger vision of the piece. What stood out to me most was Matthew's ability to collaborate. Music video productions often require the crew to work efficiently and adapt quickly, and Matthew handled that environment with focus and professionalism. Even when short handed. He was engaged throughout the process, receptive to ideas, and consistently brought his own creative perspective to the table. I believe Matthew has the curiosity and dedication necessary to thrive in any film environment. He has both a developing artistic voice and the discipline to continue refining it through collaboration, experimentation, and practice. I am happy to recommend Matthew Devlin without reservation. I believe he would be a valuable contributor to your program and would take full advantage of the creative opportunities it provides. Sincerely, Troy Lustick
