I've had various websites online ever since the days of GeoCities. During that time I've often come across the sites of other people blessed with the name Matt Hawkins (or Matthew to our mothers).

It's always interesting to see what people with the same name are doing with their time.

In a pointless exercise I can't quite explain but I decided to list those sites here as a salute to my namesakes around the World!

My main website originally created as a home for the camcorder films I made with my friends during the 1990s. It has evolved over time and I try to fill it with information useful to people creating low-budget movies, soundtracks, props and special effects. It also hosts my film making forum which has ruffled a few feathers in its time. The whole site is also accessible via http://www.matthawkins.com/.
