My Work
Publicity
Matthew Chamberlin has worked in the film and television industry for more than 30 years, including over 25 years in the Locations Department. He began his career in commercials before transitioning to feature films and television, working for producer Jerry Bruckheimer first as an office assistant and later as his personal assistant.
In 1996, Matthew moved into locations, beginning as a Location Assistant on Armageddon. Since then, his career has taken him across the country and around the world, working on projects including Enemy of the State, Matchstick Men, Modern Family, Hillbilly Elegy, Zombieland: Double Tap, Samaritan, and The First Lady.
Matthew approaches location work with the belief that every scout is an opportunity to discover something new. Having worked extensively both domestically and overseas, he enjoys the challenge of finding locations that not only meet the practical demands of production but also help bring the creative vision of a project to life.
When he’s not working, Matthew can often be found behind a camera, pursuing his passion for landscape and underwater photography. He also enjoys spending time with his wife, Mary, and their five dogs.
