Common Space is very pleased to have recently created a

partnership with director Anthony Mathile.

Director Anthony Mathile is distinguished by the acclaim he has

received from both artists and fans for his revelatory work and

honest portrayal of major celebrities and emerging artists. His

approach extends the familiar reality-based narrative into a high

level cinematic realm, combining a masterful sense of

cinematography with performance documentation.

Anthony’s background in music production lead him to Chicago in

1996 where he studied sound art at The Art Institute and audio

production at Columbia College. In 1999 he built The Yacht Club, an

audio based production facility but quickly switched tracks to forge a

creative partnership with RollingStone.com to film over 100

music videos that documented in-studio recording sessions. He

worked closely with bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Deltron 3030,

Frank Black, The Fog, and Limp Bizkit.

In 2001 Anthony produced and directed live videos for David

Bowie’s Hours album. Soon after, he toured with The Rolling

Stones for 13 months to document the band backstage, editing short

clips from the road and posted them live to the internet. The end

product was a 4 disc DVD box set entitled Four Flicks which won

numerous awards for best special feature content.

in 2003-2004 Anthony toured with David Bowie’s Reality Tour which

culminated in the feature documentary Jeans and a T-Shirt.

Anthony quickly established a reputation as a seasoned tour film

documentarian and soon after Bowie, he toured with Sting, Avril

Lavigne, and Destiny’s Child. More recently, Anthony has toured

with Phil Collins as he travelled through Eastern Europe and The

Middle East to create The Long Goodnight, a chronicle of the days

leading up to the musician’s farewell show as well as the breakup of

his marriage.

In 2007 the band Genesis hired anthony to produce and direct a

film chronicling their reunion Turn It On Again tour.  The film

entitled Come Rain Or Shine is scheduled to be released by EMI in

May 2008.
