MATHEW F. SCHMID

Writer, Director, Producer

Mathew Schmid is Executive Director of Tree Media Group and is spearheading Treemagination for Tree Media Group.   With a lifelong background in education based on the principles of Anthroposophy, Mathew has turned his attention to creating an educational curriculum to support individual and group development.  Mathew most recently produced and directed Giving Birth and is creating Into Eden with Leila Conners.

Mathew’s path of inquiry and interest in understanding how the soulful and spiritual values of personal development unfold has led him to careers grounded in communications, writing, and teaching.  After attending UCLA and completing his Masters at the Pädagogische Hochschule Stuttgart, Mathew founded schmid:zone, a design and marketing company, giving a voice and face to various schools and organizations in Germany and the United States. He has also taught the Waldorf curriculum for several years. It is through his teaching experience, and through dialogue with faculty and parents, that Mathew felt the need for a deepening exploration of human development, and thus the idea of creating a global curriculum was born and which we now call Treemagination. The idea extends to the creation of a real center where the practice and study of subjects like Education, Eurythmy, Biodymanics, Relationships, and Health can prosper.  

Mathew’s unbiased observation of pop culture and our consumer society has led him to write and create new concepts and approaches that add a clarity to understanding human development.  Mathew lives in Santa Monica and has a 16-year-old son, Yannik.
