Matt W. Miles – With a background in Theatre and Film, Matt jumped at the chance to take on the role of entertainment reviewer for 24/7 in 2012. Being raised in a Kansas City film family who’s income derived from an independently-owned home video store, he always knew that the Entertainment Arts was a way of life.  A combination of early professional jobs and an education from the University of Tulsa in Musical Theatre and Photography has led Matt to a 25 year acting career working with studios like Fox and Jim Henson Productions; film credentials were earned while working with Paramount Pictures and multiple TV shows, Short & Feature films.  Matt moved to Chicago 8 years ago and keeps his Acting Career & Production Company / Film blog Fresh Roasted Films going strong. Eagerly anticipating January, Matt can’t wait to unveil his annual Sundance Film Fest coverage to the 24/7 audience every year.
