During that time she has toured the world, produced songs for Grammy award winning artists, written for publications such as Huffington Post, Talkhouse, and Creative Time Review, created multi-media artwork, hosted documentary programs, acted, modeled, and engaged in direct support with a wide-range of progressive social and political causes. JD is now an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

His critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary films include WILD COMBINATION about the cult cellist and disco producer Arthur Russell, TEENAGE about early youth culture and the birth of teenagers, and RECORDER about the activist Marion Stokes, who secretly recorded television 24 hours a day for 30 years. Matt’s recent film SPACESHIP EARTH is about Biosphere 2, a controversial experiment where 8 people lived quarantined inside a replica of the planet. As producer, Matt’s latest film THE STROLL tells the history of New York’s Meatpacking District from the perspective of transgender sex workers who lived and worked there, and is coming out on HBO in June.
