Matt Ziegler...

An original member of the Rucksack Films crew, Matt grew up in the very NJ towns depicted in the "Ginkers" film. A graduate of EBHS and a veteran of the Sussex college system, he went on to design websites and taught himself digital filmmaking.

After high school, Matt and Rob, the "Ginkers" director, joined forces and collaborated on several short-subject films. Produced on the cheap and often filmed in the wee hours of the morning, Matt developed his distinct style and love for filmmaking. These efforts resulted in a stunning array of genre-bending films. He then became the main camera operator on all of the short films Rucksack produced in the early 2000's and stayed on board to be the Director of Photography for the entirety of the "Ginkers" documentary. 

Matt currently resides in the rural outposts of Northern, NJ with his wife and two dogs.
