Matt WHEELDON

Class of 2023
Digital Media Producer at Hook Turn Films, Freelance Screenwriter & Director

Born in Canada, I grew up in Australia, completing a bachelor’s degree in marketing before tackling a national marketing management role in the tech sector. A stint in management consulting followed, but I was restless. I have always wanted to live and work in France, and the MSc Cultural & Creative Industries programme at NEOMA presented the perfect opportunity to upskill and enhance my career options, while finding my feet in this beautiful country. Helmed by Sebastien Dubois, a full professor with a deep and profound understanding of multiple cultural sectors, the programme spans film, streaming, music, publishing and art markets, intellectual property law and live event production. And what a challenging and enriching experience it has been, filling numerous gaps in my knowledge, while growing my network. I highly recommended the programme to those pursuing a career in the rapidly expanding cultural and creative industries, anywhere in the world.
