At the turn of the Millennium, Matthew made the move into film distribution; firstly joining Universal Pictures, where he worked on the Fast & Furious and Bourne franchises. He then moved to Contender (later to become e-One), as a senior account manager, releasing series such as Spooks and Peppa Pig. In 2008, Matthew joined boutique distributor Revolver as Head of Sales, where he met Peter, and together they sold over a million DVDs starring Danny Dyer.
