Coming from a family of painters and writers in Colorado, art and creativity have always been a part of Matt Hartman’s life. After spending his formative years playing hockey and watching cartoons in Minnesota, Hartman pursued art and design in the UK where he received a BFA in Fine Art from AIU London.
Matt began his career at MackCut where he quickly rose through the ranks from runner to senior assistant editor. From there he assisted and edited at top post houses and agencies before joining Whitehouse Post as an Assistant Editor in 2015. Matt quickly began cutting his own work, working with top brands like Google (Jon X Hanes), Getty (The-Motive), Samsung (R/GA), Adidas (Johannes Leonardo), LG (Huge) and Marriott (McGarry Bowen) and renowned directors Eliot Rausch, Daniel Kaufman, Henry Alex Rubin and Nathan R. Smith.
Matt Hartman has edited the feature film Rocksteppy, a feature docu-series, and recently wrapped Desiigner’s music video “Hood” which has almost 2 million views on YouTube. A natural hands-on artist, Hartman is an experienced on-set editor and enjoys the thrill of handling whatever comes his way during a busy production. “I love being on set,” says Hartman. “It allows you to digest the content as it’s captured and also inserts you into the creative discussions happening on the day. Instead of spending time familiarizing yourself with a concept or story, you can hit the ground running.” His artistic skills extend beyond the edit room, when he isn’t editing you’ll likely find him animating, drumming, taking photographs or teaching comedy editing courses.
Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, Jake Dilley took to art and music at an early age. While in college at the University of Iowa, he developed The Color Pharmacy, a multimedia project incorporating film, performance, music, and lights, which later developed into a successful touring band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In 2013, Dilley was handpicked by acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch to receive a scholarship to the newly formed David Lynch MA in Film program at Maharishi University for a Color Pharmacy music video Dilley produced and co-directed (with Jimmy Morrison).
After earning his MA in Film in 2014, he relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he currently resides after completing his first feature-length film, Rocksteppy.

orn and raised in Caracas Venezuela, and brought to the US at age 17, Fernando Castillo graduated from West High School in Iowa City and attended the University of Iowa – School of Art and Art History. Majoring in both graphic arts and cinema, he obtained a BFA with honors in 2009. Fernando works in Chicago and across North America as a freelance/non-union Director of Photography/Cinematographer, Colorist, and Computer Motion Designer/Animator. His wide variety of experience includes working on a production crew for Lollapalooza, print/web/graphic design, and photography for the real-estate and fashion industry.
Since selling his investment management firm in 2008, David Tice pursued many interests outside the arena of public markets for exactly one decade. He just became the Chief Investment Officer of an actively managed BEAR ETF which profits from the decline in the US equity market. He’s also the major investor and Board member of a private equity investment in a SaaS data security company that offers a military-grade quality of data security and control.
Tice is well known for founding and managing the Prudent Bear Fund (BEARX) from 1996-2008. For the ten years ended 12/08 when Tice sold the fund, BEARX increased in value at a 7.97% annualized rate, while the S&P 500 lost 1.38% annually.
He is also known for sponsoring the Credit Bubble & Its Aftermath on September 21, 1999 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, that was covered by the WSJ’s front page the next morning. His Behind the Numbers’ research report on Tyco Int’l prompted investor and regulator scrutiny that eventually caused the company to lose tens of billions in market capitalization.
Tice is also known for being the driving force and financier of Soul Surfer, the inspiring movie about Bethany Hamilton, the Hawaii teen surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack. The film achieved a highly rare A+ CinemaScore for favorable audience appeal, and generated $100MM in total revenue. In the 40 years since CinemaScores have been tabulated, there have only been 77 films achieving an A+ score.

Co-written by NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods, THE HOUSING BUBBLE is a critical, non-partisan examination of the policies and events that shaped the United States economy into one bursting bubble after another.
Traveling the world for answers after starting a house painting business just in time for the crash, filmmaker Jimmy Morrison drove over 35,000 miles to track down the experts who saw it coming, seeking to understand the root causes, so that we can avoid being blindsided by the bigger bubbles and the inevitable crises that follow.
Informative, eye-opening, fresh, funny, and occasionally shocking, THE HOUSING BUBBLE skillfully de-mystifies the boom/bust link between the stock market, the FED, and the housing market for the economist and layperson alike.
Bonus Features include The Story Behind The Bubble films, which began shooting in May of 2011. An early teaser premiered at Freedom Fest in front of over 1,300 people in 2012, followed by a panel featuring Tom Woods, Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, and Gene Epstein. The film was finally shown there in 2018, winning an Audience Award at the Anthem Film Festival. They added 50 seats after 250 were filled and there were still over a dozen people who stayed to watch from the hallway through the door. The film was released digitally on June 26, 2019 with a sold out NYC Premiere at the legendary Angelika Film Center. This panel was moderated by Fox Business’s Liz Claman and featured Jim Grant, Peter Schiff, Gene Epstein, David Tice, Tom Woods, and Jimmy Morrison.
