Chicago Director Recognized
Today it was announced that Matt Miller, Second City Training Center faculty and director of the Chicago-based “Teachers” web series, has signed on with Cap Gun Collective for U.S. representation. Miller joins Abteen Bagheri, Docter Twins, Alex Fendrich, Tom Haines, Tomas Mankovsky, Jeppe Rønde, Michael Sewandono and Spooner/Bonde on the U.S. roster.
Matt Miller was the co-creator and director of the “Teachers” web series, which has been ordered to pilot by TV Land. Riding the coattails of that success, Cap Gun Collective, an award-winning international commercial production company, has signed Matt Miller to their roster for U.S. representation. The appointment is effective immediately, and was announced by Cap Gun’s executive producer Matt Abramson.
Miller developed the “Teachers” web series alongside the sketch group The Katydids and produced it through Cap Gun TV, Cap Gun’s hybrid production studio that develops, produces, and markets original content for multiple platforms.
For the past 15 years Miller has directed for theatres large and small throughout Chicagoland. His critically acclaimed 2013 production of “The Seafarer” for Seanachai Theatre received four stars from the Chicago Tribune and two extensions; other notable credits include work with Steppenwolf, Mary Arrchie, Lifeline Theatre and Profiles Theatre. Miller is currently an adjunct professor at DePaul University’s Theatre School and a member of the faculty at both The Second City Training Center and The Acting Studio Chicago.
Congratulations to Miller and thanks for continuing to further Chicago’s reputation!
