Brookstreet Pictures, a film production company founded by Trevor Matthews, the son of Welsh tech billionaire Sir Terry Matthews, is generating Oscar buzz for its involvement in the film “The Brutalist.” This cinematic historical drama delves into themes of ambition, identity, and the ‘American dream,’ portraying the journey of a Hungarian architect who relocates to post-war America. The film has piqued industry interest since its release, culminating in multiple accolades at the 2025 Golden Globes, including Best Film Drama, Best Male Actor for Adrien Brody, and Best Director for Brady Corbert. Such recognition often sets the stage for potential Oscar nominations, and “The Brutalist” is no exception.
Starring acclaimed actors like Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce, “The Brutalist” premiered at the Venice International Film Festival last September before hitting US screens in December and recently debuting in the UK. Following its triumph at the Golden Globes, the film is now poised to compete in various Oscar categories, including Best Picture, alongside top contenders such as “Conclave” and “A Complete Unknown,” as well as Best Actor and Director. The official Oscar nominations are set to be announced next week, with industry insiders speculating on the film’s strong chance for success at the prestigious awards ceremony in March.
Trevor Matthews, who grew up in Canada and ventured into the film industry after relocating to the US, remains connected to his Welsh roots and envisions Wales as a potential filming location for future Brookstreet Pictures projects. While the company is based in Los Angeles, it also operates an office in Wales, situated at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport. The company’s name, Brookstreet Pictures, pays homage to the Abercarn street where Sir Terry Matthews spent his childhood before establishing himself in the telecommunications and technology sectors.
Having established Brookstreet Pictures in 2004 after graduating from the New York Film Academy, Trevor has collaborated with renowned actors such as Bruce Willis, Michael Keaton, Ralph Fiennes, and Jessica Chastain. Reflecting on the success of “The Brutalist” and its Golden Globe triumphs, Trevor expressed gratitude for the recognition and highlighted the film’s profound impact. He emphasised the importance of pursuing projects driven by genuine passion and dedication, underscoring the meticulous craftsmanship involved in bringing “The Brutalist” to life.
In addition to its current ventures, Brookstreet Pictures is set to co-produce “Mr Burton,” a biopic detailing the early life of Welsh actor Richard Burton, featuring Toby Jones and Aneurin Barnard. Trevor’s enthusiasm for Wales as a filming destination stems from his family’s unwavering support and the country’s burgeoning reputation in the cinematic landscape. He lauds Wales’ picturesque landscapes and thriving film industry, envisioning a future filled with exciting film projects and creative collaborations within the region.
As Trevor continues to navigate the dynamic world of filmmaking, he remains committed to fostering cinematic excellence and storytelling innovation through Brookstreet Pictures. His journey from Canada to the US and Wales encapsulates a personal and professional evolution driven by a genuine love for the craft and a deep-rooted connection to his heritage. With Wales poised as a promising hub for artistic expression and cinematic endeavours, Trevor’s vision for Brookstreet Pictures unfolds against a backdrop of creativity, collaboration, and boundless possibilities in the realm of filmmaking.
