Mathew Welsh

Mathew is head of production at Journeyman Film Company.

He grew up in Alberta and now calls Halifax home, but he still wears an Oilers jersey proudly. Anthropology was his main focus at University, and he’ll gladly talk to you about the link between that field and filmmaking. His last documentary for TV was Ted Nolan: Behind the Bench. His best known work is the compelling, Gemini Award winning documentary Breakaway – seen all over the world. His beginner level Spanish – and intermediate Salsa dancing skills – helped him direct on two documentaries shot in South America. He has worked in production for almost 20 years. Mathew enjoys bringing his documentary eye to the work he does for Journeyman’s clients.

He’s a trained carpenter and enjoys building and renovating when he has time. He finds rejuvenation in wilderness, travel, yoga, soccer, bluegrass and playing guitar.
