Our Story

Hahn Films is a full service production company based in Central New Jersey run by owners Matthew and Jacqueline Hahn. Together they use their talents in film and theater to produce content across various mediums. While working on their own productions with a talented, rotating team of creative professionals, Matthew and Jacqueline work throughout the New York/New Jersey area to provide their vision to local businesses and married couples alike. They want to bring their cinematic look to all types of people ranging from business, events, narrative and more.

When Matthew was a child, he dreamed about being a filmmaker in Old Bridge, NJ. He'd not only watch but act out movies like Star Wars, Back to the Future, Tim Burton's Batman and many more. Then, he'd take his Dad's camcorder and make his own movies in the yard with friends and family. For a very short period of time, Matthew found himself in Cub Scouts after school. Nothing about Cub Scouts interested him and he noticed another who was clearly dragged there against his will: Justin Ho. Together, Matthew and Justin would become long-time friends and collaborators.

The millennium marked a significant point in Matthew's life: his parents divorced. As the youngest of three, Matthew was in the middle of many decisions made by his parents after this pinnacle moment. His brother and sister were both a decade older and already on their own for the most part. Through this time, Matthew turned to a darker side of filmmaking where he began to understand more about directing and writing. This led him to such creative minds like Quentin Tarantino, Brian DePalma and Martin Scorsese just to name a few. The dark tones and themes of these directors' works soon spilled over into Matthew's own. With Justin Ho and friends, Matthew would go on to make movies like A Mob Story and The Revolver which focused on similar worlds as the directors he began to idealize. This led Matthew to his first attempt at a feature film, Unseen Justice, which he wrote and directed with family playing the majority of the roles.

In 2008, Matthew would finish high school and decide to go away to college on Long Island, NY. Here, he went to Five Towns College to study film and video. He wanted to be taken seriously and show a professionalism when entering school, so he decided to get the Hahn Films logo developed. In his first few days at school, a significant change in his life occurred: he met his future wife, Jacqueline Mulvaney, who he would take an interest in due to her acting and theater background as well as also being from New Jersey. In Matthew's first couple of years at Five Towns, him and Jacqueline would collaborate on many projects together. Matthew wrote, shot, directed and edited a film called Journal with a friend's family in Pennsylvania while Jacqueline assisted heavily in the post process. Jacqueline would come to star in Matthew's film The Confidence Orchestra as a project for one of his film classes.

Matthew and Jacqueline would soon begin living together. Around that time, is when Matthew began work on his life changing senior thesis script: A Fine Line. The text was derived from an older screenplay Matthew had written back in high school. Him and his Step-father, Michael Gallagher, would re-work the story and make it into a short feature. When the script was finalized, Matthew presented it to his professor, Robert DiGiacomo. He remarked that a project this long would be too complicated to pull off. Matthew assured him he'd be able to accomplish the feat, and DiGiacomo agreed to let him produce the film. With Justin Ho brought on as Director of Photography and Jacqueline heading the production team, Matthew began the extensive eight day shoot in 2010. The film was cast in New York at School of Visual Arts with an up and coming cast handpicked by the three. After the production, Matthew and Justin worked effortlessly on the editing process. The film's score would be produced by Joey Puleio and placed into the film the final day of editing. A Fine Line was a huge hit among Matthew's classmates and professors alike. The film won him Best Senior Thesis Film and recognition throughout Five Towns.

After graduating college, Matthew and Jacqueline continued to pursue their careers. They moved together back to New Jersey where they now reside. Here, is where Matthew began working on Hahn Films more rapidly. He'd take on various freelancing jobs, shooting weddings and conventions for small businesses as well as write and direct a handful of films and series: Scepter, Tiger Lily and Legacy of Snakes. Jacqueline continued acting working in plays and musicals all over New Jersey from The Count Basie to Spring Lake Theater. Today, Matthew and Jacqueline co-own Hahn Films and work closely with a rotating creative team consisting of: Justin Ho, Robert Mannanice, Wesley Smoyak, Sachiththa Fernando and others. They also spend time working heavily with Axelrod Performing Arts Center doing promotional videos and backstage work. Matthew and Jacqueline got married on July 17th, 2017 and are hard at work continuing their success with Hahn Films!
