They say that truth is often more extraordinary than fiction, and my life's tapestry is a testament to that belief. I proudly don multiple creative hats, interweaving the realms of writing, screenwriting, directing, and streaming into a vibrant symphony of my passions.

As a writer, I've ventured beyond the realms of imagination and successfully delved into the published world. My novel, "Shadow Legacy: Curse of the Shetani," offers a gripping introduction to a series that continues to captivate minds and hearts. You can find it on Amazon, where the journey begins: Shadow Legacy: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Legacy-Shetani-Matthew-Rhodes/dp/1720819750

Exploring the enchanting intersection of screenwriting and directing, I spearhead a remarkable animation venture known as Lion's Pride Animation. Our latest opus, "Shadow Legacy," breathes life into the pages of my aforementioned novel, fusing storytelling with visual artistry to create an immersive experience like no other.

But my creative endeavors don't end there. Embarking on a parallel path, I've embraced the vibrant realm of Twitch streaming. On my channel, LionsPrideStudios, I've forged a welcoming community where both aspiring and seasoned streamers find solace and support.

Additionally, I've ventured into the realm of podcasting, transcending platforms to bring compelling conversations to life. LPA Presents... is my show's moniker, and it serves as a stage where remarkable individuals share their stories. One such luminary I had the honor of interviewing is none other than David Hayter, the iconic voice behind Snake in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.

As part of my storytelling journey, I'm currently working on two exciting new projects:

Lawless Hour: This dark political thriller explores the dystopian consequences of an annual 'purge' where police are granted the authority to enforce laws without restrictions for one hour every year. This chilling concept mirrors the current political climate and highlights the impact on everyday citizens, with the story following characters who never imagined the system could turn against them. Stay tuned for its release, where I'll dive deeper into themes of power, control, and societal collapse. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNYG58QW

The Customer is Always Right: A dark comedy set in a supermarket, where entitled customers (aka "Karens") try to sabotage a newly appointed general manager. Shot entirely in VR using VRChat, this project offers a fresh take on customer service gone wrong. As we work through pre-production, we're building sets and character designs, with the goal of submitting the final product to film festivals and competitions to gain backing for distribution and potential rights sale for a live-action adaptation.

Dive into my vibrant mosaic, where artistry, storytelling, and community converge. Embark on this journey with me, and together, let's weave an extraordinary tale of creativity and inspiration.

Remember, the true essence of who I am is an ongoing odyssey, waiting to be discovered, cherished, and shared.
