misfit. rebel. Jewish writer.
hey, girl. you need copy?
I’m Matt. Nice to meet you. I’m an award-winning creative writer with fifteen years of experience in screenwriting, copywriting, producing, pitching and ideating. I link. I build. I do it all. I co-created, wrote, and Executive Produced two seasons of Amazon Prime Video’s original adult-animated comedy, FAIRFAX.
Whether it’s writing and producing a TV show or movie, copywriting, or pitching brand copy for weed gummies, I’m driven by a passion to bring an idea to life from its inception and see it all the way through to completion. I’m an avid reader, TV and film nerd, and a sponge of all things pop-culture. I believe the key to a successful creative endeavor is collaboration. Putting together the right team on any project is more important than any one person’s point of view. There’s no task too big or too small, and I’m dying to collaborate with passionate, driven creatives like myself. Reach out to me at mhausfater@gmail.com to connect!
