Bio – Matt Poitras

I am the sole operator and designer of MP Filmcraft. I have over 25 years experience as a leather craftsmen and creator & designer of props & costumes. I am also a documentary &  narrative filmmaker. I work in the film industry from time to time as a Prop Master and Armorer.

On the set as Armorer on the feature film Blood Behind Us – Starring Michael Madsen

My course of study throughout the years has been early Bronze Age up to modern warfare. I have a passion for uniforms, military gear and armor.

Typically on my productions I provide all aspects of cinematography, directing, editing, producing in addition to designing/building props and costumes. I got my costume and prop design start at the early age of 19 while working at a costume shop in my hometown of Arlington, TX. It was there that I developed skills as a leather craftsman which led to me making my primary living in the leather and replica business.
