Matt Hirst

It’s an honor to take home any trophy at the Twin Cities Film Festival, but it’s something else entirely when Bill Murray personally declares your work Best Comedy Short.

12 Sips to Glory is indeed a comedy on the surface, but its real magic comes from the compassionate and joyful approach Hirst takes to the screen. A full-time filmmaker with Flow Nonfiction since 2012, Hirst has explored veterans issues, women’s issues, and voting rights for national organizations like Wounded Warrior Project, Boys and Girls Club, and Move On.
