A storyteller at heart, Matthew Miele has drawn on his diverse background in music composition, publishing, and screenwriting to become a highly successful producer and director of critically acclaimed documentaries. His passion for storytelling began in childhood, inspired by family trips to see the holiday windows along New York’s Fifth Avenue. This fascination ultimately led to his breakout box-office hit, SCATTER MY ASHES AT BERGDORF’S (2013), a feature documentary about the iconic retailer, Bergdorf Goodman, featuring interviews with Giorgio Armani, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, and Joan Rivers.

Following the success of Bergdorf’s, Miele partnered with Tiffany & Co. to tell the brand’s history in CRAZY ABOUT TIFFANY’S (2016), which featured Baz Luhrmann, Jessica Biel, Fran Lebowitz, and Katie Couric. This success opened the door to more high-profile projects, including HARRY BENSON: SHOOT FIRST! (2016), a fully-authorized documentary chronicling the legendary LIFE photographer’s iconic work with The Beatles, Martin Luther King Jr., and 12 U.S. Presidents. The film featured appearances by Dan Rather, Joe Namath, Ralph Lauren, Donald Trump, and Henry Kissinger.

Miele’s next project, ALWAYS AT THE CARLYLE (2018), documented the storied history of Miele’s favorite haunt, the famed Manhattan institution, The Carlyle Hotel, featuring appearances by George Clooney, Anjelica Huston, Lenny Kravitz, and Anthony Bourdain.

In 2017, Miele turned his focus to his favorite filmmaker, Alan J. Pakula, producing ALAN PAKULA: GOING FOR TRUTH, a fully-authorized documentary on the singular director. The film featured interviews with Pakula’s cast and crew, including Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, and Jane Fonda.

Miele’s most recent release is a fully-authorized documentary about the legendary costume designer Bob Mackie. With a six-decade career spanning both stage and screen, beginning in the 1960s with Marilyn Monroe. Mackie’s life story has captivated sold-out screenings across the country, where he participates in conversations with the audience after each screening. Miele’s film, BOB MACKIE: NAKED ILLUSION, features original interviews with Cher, Carol Burnett, Mitzi Gaynor, Tom Ford, and Miley Cyrus, among other clients and admirers.

Most recently, Miele completed production on a fully-authorized documentary about Bernie Taupin, the legendary lyricist for Elton John. The film features interviews with Pete Townshend, Ringo Starr, Joan Baez, Elton John, Annie Lennox, and Kiefer Sutherland.
