- Biography
Matt Sazama is one of the two creators of Netflix's Lost in Space, alongside Burk Sharpless and also serves as a writer and executive producer on the series.
Matt Sazama grew up making live action and animated Super-8 movies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – films whose ambition outstripped their budget while trying to replicate the magic found in the science fiction and fantasy films of the 80s. His love of movies led him to attend New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he briefly became an auteur.
Together, with his writing partner Burk Sharpless, they wrote the original script Dracula Untold, which was on the prestigious Black List of best-unproduced screenplays before it was finally made by Universal Pictures in 2014. Since then, they wrote the script to Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt and co-wrote the fantasy/sci-fi films The Last Witch Hunter and Power Ranger. Finally, with the Netflix original series Lost In Space, the promise of those old Super-8 movies has been realized with Matt acting as co-creator, executive producer and writer.
