Matthew is an Actor, Producer and Model from South Wales. After graduating University in Southampton with a BSc in Oceanography, Matthew briefly got into modelling, being Welsh Male Model of the Year in 2008. It was during this time that he was asked to audition for the Cybermen in Dr WHO. He was successful in this audition and so his acting journey began. Matthew was fortunate enough to have a grounding in basic stunts during his Cyberman filming days and was delighted to be asked back to do more and more monsters. Cyber-Matt, became Ood-Matt, Jadoon-Matt and ultimately DALEK-Matt. He stunt doubled for the Dr on Motorcycles and did stunts in cars, hand to hand combat, weaponry etc. He also played a character called 'Anderson' and is still working on the production, looking to more modern monsters.

It doesn't stop with on camera work. Matthew also performed at multiple live events for Dr WHO including the Proms in London, Road Shows up and down the country and Promotions for various seasons and Dr WHO products.

He also has produced a sitcom called 'Long Shots' which is available on Amazon Prime as well as Lottery funded independent films. He is producing one such film this year as well as another series of 'Long Shots' in which he plays the character 'Max'. Recently Matthew has narrated chapter 7 of the Podcast of the 'Knights of Avalon' and is looking forward to a couple of projects this year including the 'The Spirit of Rhybin', 'The Apollo Affair' and Dr WHO to name a few.

My name is Finley-Marie Taylor, and I play "Allie" in "the spirit of Rhybin". I usually spend my time with my cats, trying to prevent them from taking over the world, but also enjoy sinking my teeth into new roles. I hope everyone enjoys watching Allie as much as I enjoyed being her.

I'm Georgie McDonald, and I am the producer on this project. I've lived in Wales for 11 years now and I love everything about it, and I wanted to give something back. I have a great love for Myths and Legends so when Ray said that he was looking to make another film in Wales, I said "Why not combine these two great things?!" After a bit of research we arrived at "Gwrach-y-rhybin", and I cannot wait to see the end result.

I'm Frankie Louise, and I have a couple of roles on this project. I will be working on Hair and Make-up as well as my role of Lucy, one of the first unfortunates to come in to contact with The Spirit.

What do we need from you?

This film is mostly self financed. However we do need a little bit of help as it's an ambitious project. We are looking to rent a log cabin or cottage in Wales and post COVID that's an expensive thing to do. For the location we are asking for £700. That covers the filming days and potentially adds to the festival entries when the film is complete.

Anything you can give would be a great help.

Thank you.
