Feature Films
WPI is currently in varying states of Development on several feature length films.
Wingman Pictures International first started in around 1996 as “The Actors Cafe”. Since that time it has changed it’s name to Wingman Pictures and then more recently Wingman Pictures International, due mostly to its new International outlook on projects.
The company is the brain child of International award winning filmmaker Matt Norman, who has spent the last 20 years forging a great reputation in the local and International film industry. Matt’s career started out as an Actor where he trained at the National Theatre Drama School. His television credits include Neighbours, Stingers, Blue Heelers, Sea Change, Corelli, Janus and many others. His feature film acting credits include The Bank, Ghost Rider (alongside Nicolas Cage) and Moby Dick (with Patrick Stewart, Gregory Peck, Ted Levine and Henry Thomas).
Matt moved away from acting to pursue a filmmaking career back in the early 2000’s. Each of his several films completed as writer, director and producer have gained him International awards for his work. His most recent and most successful film to date is “Salute”, a full feature length documentary film about his famous Uncle Peter Norman (www.salutethemovie.com). This film played around the World in Cinema’s and was distributed through the likes of Paramount Pictures, Transmission Films and Warner Bros.
