Matia has been studying with Milne Studio Toronto for quite a few years. She has booked commercials, lead film roles, and even booked a role in Crimson Peak directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Milne Studio has been involved with many auditions and has coached Matia on almost all of her self-taped auditions. Last year Matia said Brad was her hero when he coached and filmed her audition tape for a leading role in an HBO show called Sharp Objects. The tape got the attention of award winning director Jean-Marc Vallee and casting director, David Rubin. Matia and Brad then worked on a callback tape, which got her the job. She feels that without Brad and his ability to create eye catching tapes, her audition may not have been noticed to this extent, making her valuable connections.
