Born and raised in the Deep South, Matthew Tate Coates cut his teeth on low budget/no budget projects starting back in 2011, filming with dslrs, cheap lenses, and rigs built out of PVC pipes. Now, he’s a full fledged video creative, able to take projects from conceptualization to final delivery, and specializes in short documentary pieces, mobile videos, and commercials. He currently resides in New Orleans, Louisiana with his wife Michelle and their pet succulent. (It doesn’t play fetch very well.)
