Matthew Moir is a filmmaker, writer and artist based in Montreal.

With a foundation of seven years in theatre performance, creating with like-minded community is fundamental to their practice. In 2018, Matthew received a BA from UBC in Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice. During their studies, they made short films and performance art under the influence of gender and queer theory. This meant using themself as a tool to challenge, provoke, and satirize conventional representations of masculinity. 

Moir has written, directed, and acted in film and theatre. Their work is rooted in personal process, using performance art approaches and mauve humor. Glad you’re Out was their debut narrative short film, selected for Telefilm Canada’s Not Short on Talent in Clermont-Ferrand 2024. Their second short, Bouquet, is currently in post-production. And currently work in scripted development for Muse Entertainment.

Moir thanks and acknowledges the funding support from the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario, in supporting their artistic practice. As well as Canada Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council.
