Matthew Dravitzki Email & Phone Number

I’m a producer and executive with over 25 years of experience producing big-budget tentpoles, specializing in visual effects production for blockbusters in film and premium TV. I am currently the Executive VFX Producer at beloFX and am based in Los Angeles. I started my career as Peter Jackson’s executive assistant and Assistant Production Coordinator on THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, and I grew within Jackson’s Wingnut Films, ultimately rising to become Executive Producer at the company and Chair of the Board of Directors of Park Road Productions. I was eager to explore the world of filmmaking outside of New Zealand and moved to LA in 2017 to join Wētā FX. At Weta, I’ve worked on over 30 projects, including numerous Marvel and DC features and series, major franchises and reboots like THE PLANET OF THE APES, MULAN and JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL, and I’ve expanded the company’s slate to include TV and streaming projects like HBO’s GAME OF THRONES, Apple TV+’s INVASION, and Netflix’s THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY.I enjoy consulting with filmmakers to figure out the logistics that will allow them to achieve their creative goals, including assessing project scope and allocating multi-million-dollar budgets. I make a point to stay on top of the latest technologies and innovations, particularly in the virtual production sphere, and I am able to propose the proper VFX solutions and tools to help filmmakers bring their projects to life, whether that means highlighting a brand new capability or suggesting a cost-effective but equally stunning alternative. While I love working on blockbusters, I’m also passionate about storytelling for social change, and one of my proudest achievements is producing the award-winning documentary WEST OF MEMPHIS about the wrongful convictions of the West Memphis 3.
