Matt Saxe has been producing award-winning theatre and films for nearly seven years, and acting in film, TV, and theatre for over a decade. Matt's most recent release was the underground doc hit "9/11: Press for Truth," which is soon to be followed up by the documentary "Buying the Pharm," an exposé on the pharmaceutical industry. Matt brings a deep love and fascination with American history combined with a passion for filmmaking to Vice-Precedence. The inspiration for the film came to him after watching a documentary series on all the Presidents, and the following night a special on VP Henry A. Wallace. The idea of a documentary devoted to the Vice Presidents who were never President, focusing on the unique and strange role and history of the office struck Matt as the perfect subject for a documentary that had never been done before. Matt's work on Vice Precedence has given him a whole new perspective on American history and politics and has gained him knowledge on the subject no sane person ought to have. This was recognized when Gore Vidal referred to Matt and co-producer Jason Klamm as "Better than Ken Burns," regarding Matt's preparation, questions, and their interview style. Matt's goal with Vice-Precedence is not just to educate about the Vice Presidency, but also to entertain audiences and inspire them to learn more about it, and maybe be able to make some interesting comments at the next cocktail party they go to. |
