Mattie is a recent recipient of a BFA in Film and Television Production from the University of Southern California, School of Cinematic Arts. Mattie and her team were selected to make a USC Senior Thesis Film titled “Practice Funeral.” The film follows the journey of a young man diagnosed with terminal testicular cancer as he throws his funeral, much to the disapproval of his mother.
