MATT SALINGER (Producer) began producing theater in the late 1980s, on both coasts, after a decade as a successful actor.

He created New Moon Productions in 1994 and has now produced nine films, all independent, all outside the studio system. These include

• Fortunes of War, a political thriller set in Cambodia, with Martin Sheen and Academy Award-winner Haing S. Ngor (The Killing Fields) in his last performance

• Mojave Moon with Angelina Jolie, Danny Aiello, Anne Archer, and Alfred Molina

• Little City with Jon Bon Jovi, Annabella Sciorra and Penelope Ann Miller

• Jay Craven’s adaptation of Vermont novelist Howard Mosher’s Stranger in the Kingdom; a send-up of life in Hollywood called Hacks, starring Stephen Rea, Lisa Kudrow and Tom Arnold

• Meeting Daddy, a precursor to Meet the Parents and Lloyd Bridges’ last film

• Stacy Title’s modern day Hamlet story, Let the Devil Wear Black, starring Jacqueline Bisset, Mary-Louise Parker and Jamey Sheridan.

• With partner Steven Hoffman, he wrapped Four Dogs Playing Poker, shot in L.A., New York and Buenos Aires, starring Forest Whitaker, Tim Curry and Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense).

• And his biggest budget film to date here in New York, Plan B, a mob comedy starring Diane Keaton, Paul Sorvino and Natasha Lyonne.

He is working on a German co-production to be shot entirely in Africa of Mark Lee’s Rebel Armies Deep into Chad (adapted from his play), and he is working with the creators of Hoop Dreams on an as yet untitled film set amidst the waning days of the American Jazz age.

He is prepping a snowboarding film to shoot in Canada with German commercial director Helli Hellinger. He is happy to be working again with Jay Craven on another Mosher novel, Disappearances, and he is perhaps most excited to be working with Pam and Larry again on Pam's new screenplay The Lily Field.
