Matthew Solomon

Filmmaker, Writer, Conflict Resolution Facilitator

Matthew Solomon was born and raised in Los Angeles and has been in the entertainment business for most of his adult life--first in music and then as an award-winning filmmaker. His passion for people, equity, and social justice led him to work as a consultant for organizations needing help with conflict resolution and partnership building. During the pandemic, he returned to school to obtain a Master's degree in Public Administration so that he could have more of an impact in helping to create communities that work for everyone. His course of study involved a deep dive into understanding policing, the carceral system, and public safety. Now, his work involves utilizing art to influence positive change. Matthew Solomon is an adjunct professor at Antioch University where he teaches conflict resolution and intercultural conflict.
