Matt Angel & Suzanne Coote Mini Biography:
Matt Angel & Suzanne Coote (Co-Directors)In 2017, Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote partnered and independently wrote, produced, and directed their first feature film, THE OPEN HOUSE. The film, a thriller starring Dylan Minnette (13 REASONS WHY), was acquired by Netflix as a Netflix Original Film and was given a global release across all territories. It would quickly become one of Netflix’s most-watched thrillers to date. Just three years after its release, Angel and Coote would return to Netflix to direct HYPNOTIC, a psychological thriller starring Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), Jason O’Mara (Life on Mars, TerraNova, Agents of Shield) and Dulé Hill (Psyche, The West Wing).
Angel got his start at the age of 20 when he wrote and directed a 1/2-hour single-camera pilot called HALF. Inspired by a true story, the project was crowd-funded from a Kickstarter campaign. He would become one of the youngest writers to have ever created and sold a series after it was set up at Sony Pictures TV and subsequently sold to NBC. Angel went on to develop and sell several more shows, including a large-scale event series called TEN and was commissioned to write feature scripts for a number of production companies and studios.
THE OPEN HOUSE was a directorial debut for Coote, who double-majored in Film and Music at The New School in New York City. Upon returning home to southern California, Coote began work in development at Illumination Entertainment before leaving to launch her career as a director.
Currently, Angel and Coote are in development on a number of projects in both features and TV.
