MATTHEW MIELE

A storyteller above all else, Matthew Miele has drawn upon his various experiences in music composition, publishing, and screenwriting to become a successful producer and director of critically acclaimed, and internationally renowned, feature-length documentaries. 

Past films include Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s, Harry Benson: Shoot First, Always at The Carlyle and Alan Pakula: Going for Truth. 

Miele’s latest film release, Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion, chronicles the unprecedented six-decade career of award-winning costume designer Bob Mackie. The film further examines Bob’s unique upbringing, those whom he has held dear within his inner circle, and the familial surprises in his life that have all contributed to the optimism and audacity present in his work.

Up next for Miele and currently in production are fully-authorized documentaries on the legendary lyricist Bernie Taupin, and an inside look at the renowned New York City comedy club, Comedy Cellar.  In post-production are biographies on Emmy Award winning comedy writer Alan Zweibel, and triple Academy Award winning screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky, which will premiere on MAX in Spring 2025.
