About Matthew Pegno

Born and raised on Long Island but New York City tough I am aspiring to work in the entertainment industry. I commuted into Xavier High School in New York City everyday from Long Island for four years before attending the University of Miami where I am now a senior studying the Business of Motion Pictures and a member of the Delta Kappa Alpha society. This past summer I was a production assistant on The Godfather of Harlem and an executive intern at the Midnight Theatre in Hudson Yards. In the experience I have had in entertainment so far, I have gotten up all those days and not felt like I was going to work but going to do something I truthfully enjoyed. I have always taken the words of Mark Twain to heart that if you "Find a job you enjoy doing, you will never work a day in your life." And although it is something I enjoy doing, it is something I do take especially seriously. The entertainment industry is one of the most uniquely important businesses to the world and it is one I hope to improve with my dedication.
