About

This is a love letter to cinema, to the tapestry of tales, folklore, and myths that span cultures and centuries—to stories that emerge from every corner of human experience. It celebrates the profound impact of fictional heroes whose journeys have illuminated our paths since time immemorial.

B&L is the brainchild of me, Mathew Cleveland. I carry stories with me, passed down through my Native American and German ancestry. These narratives have shaped me, flowing quietly through generations before finding their voice in my work.

My path as a storyteller has been enriched by many experiences. Each job I've held and role I've played has offered a new lens through which to view the world. These varied perspectives continue to inform my creative approach, helping me understand the complexity of human experience.

Over time, I've developed a sensitivity to the emotional currents that run beneath everyday interactions. This awareness has become a compass in my storytelling, guiding me toward moments of genuine connection and meaning.

I walk this writer's path with gratitude, knowing that my unique cultural heritage offers perspectives that might otherwise go unnoticed. As I continue developing as an auteur, I hope to create work that honors both traditional storytelling and contemporary voices.

Each day brings new opportunities to listen, observe, and grow. I believe that the most meaningful stories emerge not from grand declarations, but from quiet moments of truth and understanding. It's these subtle revelations that I seek to capture in my work, hoping they might resonate with others on their own journeys.

Beyond writing

When I’m not invested in becoming a screenwriter and auteur, I currently earn my living as a photographer and videographer. As an ex-Creative Director, my background in advertising comes in handy.
