Our Catalog of Narrative Shorts
Great Stories Start with Unforgettable People.
At Pink Coyote Films, we’re not just casting roles — we’re building worlds.
We look for actors who bring something unspoken into the room.
Presence over polish. Truth over performance. The kind of performer who doesn’t just deliver lines, but listens inside the silence between them.
We make short films that are intimate, cinematic, and emotionally precise.
About
My name is Matthew R. Paden
As a writer, director, and producer I'm driven by one thing: character. Under the Pink Coyote banner, I create short films that live in the tension between sharp dialogue and quiet moments—where what’s unsaid hits just as hard as what’s spoken.
