Early short films Early in his career, Glass created a handful of strange short films. In 2012, Glass released
Citadel, a monochromatic puppet-filled short film inspired by cerebral horror films of the 1970s. In late 2014, Glass wrote and directed Good Morning, a musical, short film featuring singing puppets and a brutal crime. In 2017, Rain, a film written and directed by Glass was released. It was an official selection in the Atlanta Film Festival and the National Puppetry Festival.
Feature films In 2018, Glass wrote and co-directed a feature film titled
Squirrel. It is described as: A couple lost in the woods stumbles across a mysterious cult who once harvested a strange, crimson, maple syrup with healing properties. The cult is on the brink of ruin as their crimson maple supply dwindles and their leader is left with some life or death decisions to make. The couple's budding relationship is strained when they confront the truth about a series of bodies found in the woods. Their intertwining lives lead to a confluence of events all triggered by the heroic act of one soldier in the revolutionary war over 200 years ago. That same year, Glass also second-unit directed
Karen Gillan's feature directorial debut ''The Party's Just Beginning'' which debuted at the
Glasgow Film Festival and was eventually released by The Orchard in Late 2018. In 2020, Glass along with his business partner
Jordan Wayne Long,
Tara Perry,
David Arquette, and Christina Arquette produced
Brea Grant's second feature film
12 Hour Shift which was set to debut at the
Tribeca Film Festival before it was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. The film was picked up by
Magnolia Pictures to be released under their Magnet Releasing arm on October 2, 2020. The film also features a score composed by Matt Glass. That same year, Glass also composed the score for the feature documentary
You Cannot Kill David Arquette. Glass and
Jordan Wayne Long began production on their second film as directors
Ghosts of the Ozarks. The film features
Tim Blake Nelson,
Angela Bettis,
David Arquette,
Thomas Hobson and
Tara Perry which
Deadline Hollywood described as: Set in a post-Civil War Arkansas circa 1886, the film follows a young black doctor who is summoned by his uncle to a remote town in the Ozarks only to discover upon his arrival that the utopian paradise is not all that it seems to be. With the help of strict COVID safety guidelines, the film was able to complete production even as many other productions were shut down.
Ghosts of the Ozarks premiered at the 2021
Austin Film Festival and was released in select theaters and on demand in early 2022. ==Documentaries==
