ROOM SERVICE is my directorial debut. Starring Vanessa Walton-Bone and HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN‘s Molly Dunsworth, the film premiered at the 32nd Annual Atlantic Film Festival in 2012 and went on to the finals of CBC's national competition, SHORT FILM FACE OFF.

Reviews:

“Trust us when we say it’ll take until the film’s final 10 seconds to really play its hand, and you’ll love it when it does.” -Carsten Knox, The Coast (link) _ “Writer-director Glen Matthews is a shameless disarmer, Lynchian in spirit. His short Room Service reveals, literally, the illusion of cinema. It’s a worthy short that cleverly enables a Mulholland Drive-like revelation.” -Parker Mott, Final Take (link)

“Actor Glen Matthews’ first film as a director, Room Service, was a highlight. A seemingly tragic human drama, it had a delightful comedic twist in the tail. Matthews can clearly handle himself behind the camera, as well as in front of the lens.” -Jeremy Webb, The Chronicle Herald (link)
