For over 30 years, Matt Whitaker has been writing and directing for film and television. A specialist in the WWII genre, his numerous produced screenplays include the critically acclaimed war films Saints and Soldiers and Instrument of War. He has creative-produced or directed over 100 commercials and short films shot in more than 30 countries around the world. His directing credits also include award-winning documentaries for PBS such as Ancestors and Small Fortunes: Microcredit and the Future of Poverty featuring Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus and Academy Award winning actress, Linda Hunt. In 2002, Whitaker and a film crew traveled to Germany with the last surviving member of a teenage resistance group. This powerful experience led to the PBS documentary Truth & Conviction: The Helmuth Hübener Story, which has prepared the way for the feature film Truth & Treason.
