Matthew Toffolo is the founder and creator of the WILDsound website, screenplay and film festival.

He jumped onto the entertainment scene is 2004, when he produced the large budget short film Headhunter that premiered at the Los Angeles International Film Festival to rave reviews. From there he has not stopped, showcasing 15 directed or produced films at almost 100 film festivals and television programs in the last 4 years.

From it's inception in July 2003 to May 2006, Matthew ran the successful LIFT OUT LOUD reading series through the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto. It was an event mainly for LIFT members who were writers and wanted to hear their script read using actors in the city. The event turned into the most successful event LIFT has ever had when Matthew began to pursue already established industry professionals to moderate the event each month. Writers in the city wanted to become apart of the event and became LIFT members, raising the level of members in the organization.

But Matthew wanted to keep raising the bar of the event much to the disinterest of the faculty of LIFT, so he was forced to move outside the organization and organize the event independently. The new WILDsound event has become so successful, he decided to expand to the first ever FEEDBACK Film Festival.

Matthew loves running the WILDsound. Getting the chance for many creative professionals around the world to get together to discuss the craft of storytelling is Matthew’s favorite thing in the world. He is proud of the fact that the WILDsound events continues to be a positive place for people to come and judgment of any sort is never welcome.

Professionally, Matthew is a film Director who is preparing to make feature films. He has directed 10 shorts films that have played at various film festivals and television networks all over North America (you can see four of his films on this website).

He pushes to make www.wildsound.ca the place where magic happens. Currently the site averages over 4,500 visitors a day and it continues to rise each day.
