Picture's Up!

Based in Toronto, ON, Mathias K. Tom Yew is a queer and trans filmmaker. With expertise in production management and design, he aspires to tell stories that often go unheard.

​​

Most recently, he wrote and produced Nobody Sleeps at Night (2025), his first independently produced short film. It is currently in its festival circuit, and the teaser is available to the public.​

​

As an multi-departmental specialist, Mathias is dedicated wholly to the art of filmmaking. He's had a passion for this world since high school, where he began making amateur short films. As a recent honours graduate of Humber Polytechnic's Film & Television Production program, Mathias is ready to take the industry head on. With experience on over twenty productions, he's constantly looking for new challenges, stories, and opportunities.

“Mathias is one of the best people I’ve worked with on any set! He worked tirelessly on the costume design and SPFX [...] and kept reworking his designs until both him and I were happy with the results. He is truly one of the most dedicated people on the planet, putting every ounce of detail and effort into his sketches and his research. [...] He’s such a professional on set, making the actors feel comfortable and in their element. I’d work with Mathias for the rest of time if I could, and I plan to.”
