Matt Donnelly

Since earning a Master’s in Film Production from Loyola Marymount University in 2004, I’ve worked my way from production assistant to writer/producer in film, television, and stage.

I cut my teeth in television and film production, learning the business on set and in the production offices under industry giants like Greg Berlanti (“Brothers & Sisters,” “Arrow”), Brenda Hampton (“Seventh Heaven,” “Fat Actress”), Greer Shephard & Michael Robin (“The Closer,” “Nip/Tuck”), Hal Lieberman (“Terminator 3,” “Bridge To Terabithia”), Stephen Gaghan (“Traffic,” “Syriana”), and Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (“The Hangover,” “Mixology”).

In 2009, I was promoted to staff writer and wrote on the ABC Studios family drama “Brothers & Sisters” for two seasons before spending a season on the relationship comedy “Mixology.”

In 2013, I earned a script development deal at CBS TV Studios where I developed cable drama projects over the next two years and sold a pilot to MTV in 2016. I continue to develop television projects for CBS TV Studios, Kennedy/Marshall, The Hal Lieberman Company, MGM International, and Stage 29 Productions.

Over the years, my passion for storytelling has diversified. My musical “Recorded In Hollywood” played to sold-out audiences at The Kirk Douglas Theater in 2016. I’ve written on a number of docuseries, including “Food Paradise,” “Ancient Aliens,” and “America’s Book of Secrets.” I’m developing “Operation Bombshell,” an outrageous spy comedy, and I have written two middle grade novels, “Naughty Week” and “Lucky Day.” I continue to write feature films, television projects, plays, and books.
