ABOUT
I am a 25 year old who doesn't like coffee.
My favorite animals are whale sharks and otters.
I type all my emails using my mechanical keyboard.
Film photography over digital.
One day, I'll live in the UK.
Oh, before you ask, either Matt or Matthew is fine.
This site is an authentic experience of me, built by me.

Founder & Owner | Cott.On.Film
2023 - Present| Hummelstown, PA
Founded a personal film photography business and social media account.
Cott.On.Film is a passion project that aims to serve the Harrisburg, Hershey and Hummelstown area with all film needs. Located in Hummelstown, PA inside the Consignment Coop, it offers a variety of cameras, accessories and film at a low price. Every purchase helps keep film alive in Pennsylvania.
In 2022, I created an Instagram account to give me an opportunity to share film photos and to showcase camera review Reels. After shooting film for a few years in the area, I recognized a gap in the market for a place to purchase film cameras in person and be a reliable place to restock or find new cameras.
In the last year to help practice editing and content creation, I have began to produce entertaining and information vertical social media content displaying different cameras, films and topics on film. Starting this account it has helped improve my editing, graphic design and photography which I hope to transfer those skills to a future role.
