He earned his Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University School of Law and holds an MFA from UCLA’s Graduate School of Film & Television, where he completed the prestigious “Producers Program” and graduated Summa Cum Laude. Throughout his legal career, Matt has represented a wide range of clients in the entertainment industry, including most notably, serving as counsel to Laura Hart McKinney – a key witness in the O.J. Simpson Murder Trial.
In 2023, Matt co-founded Bluphyre Media, LLC with his son, David Schwartz, an award-winning filmmaker known for two short films: The Big Chicken and The Old Bargain. Together, they produce compelling digital video content, specializing in branding campaigns for law firms as well as music videos and other dynamic video content that promotes the work of music artists.
Matt’s unique blend of humor and micro storytelling is on display in this 30-second commercial currently being showcased (and others) in various film festivals around the country — each an innovative example of how visual branding can effectively distinguish legal professionals as both memorable and relatable in highly competitive spaces.
