Crew I Want Your Love
TRAVIS MATHEWS
WRITER, DIRECTOR, EDITOR
Travis Mathews is an award-winning filmmaker whose movies focus on gay men and intimacy. Informed with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a background in documentary, Travis takes a thoughtful and naturalistic approach to filmmaking while maintaining a sense of humor in his work. In 2009 Travis started an ongoing documentary series called IN THEIR ROOM about gay men and bedrooms. The first of several episodes was filmed in San Francisco, followed by Berlin (2010) and more recently, London (2012). Ira Sachs (KEEP THE LIGHTS ON) calls the series, "deeply intimate" and credits Mathews with "a kind and empathetic eye as a filmmaker and a new voice needed to tell our stories." John Cameron Mitchell (SHORT BUS) refers to Mathews as, "refreshingly honest, a new voice giving queer cinema a much needed injection of emotional intimacy."
In 2010 TLA awarded Mathews' narrative short, I WANT YOUR LOVE, "Best Short" honors. The feature version of the same name played dozens of festivals worldwide in 2012. Andrew Haigh (WEEKEND) calls I WANT YOUR LOVE (2011), Mathews' feature debut, "a bold film with rare insight into the uncensored lives of a generation of gay men."
After having watched I WANT YOUR LOVE James Franco contacted Travis in 2012 to collaborate on what would become INTERIOR. LEATHER BAR. which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
