Daria Matza

From an early age, Daria Matza has been intrigued by storytelling and images that transport us, move us, and create great change in the world. On this journey of stories Daria helped produce segments for news organizations (MSNBC and PBS), produced independent films, and worked on major motion pictures. With a great passion for documentary film, her directorial debut, A Capital Beat, chronicled the vibrant history and culture of Go-Go music and its social impact on the community. Since then she’s been a part of more than a dozen documentaries including Keep on Moving, Starved, and An Inaugural Ride to Freedom, which won an Emmy Award. Years ago she produced Styria, a gothic feature film starring Stephen Rea and Eleanor Tomlinson that was shot outside of Budapest. She has a B.S in Broadcast Journalism, Graduate Certificate in Documentary Filmmaking and Masters in Film, Television and New Media. Daria lives in Portland with her daughters and filmmaking partner/husband and teaches cinema classes while pursuing various storytelling projects. (Via TMDB)
