EXPERTS
Spectrum FX has become as much a production company as it is a special effects company. With the addition of Donnie Dean, John Bush, Ty Abrahams, Justin Johnson, and Matt’s sons Matthew and Zackary, the volume of quality work this team is able to facilitate is expanding exponentially every day.



CEO & Founder
Matt Sr. is the mastermind behind the madness that is Spectrum FX. Constantly moving and always thinking of new ways to achieve more, Matt has trained everyone at Spectrum and works closely with the Spectrum team for every project – anywhere in the world.



Lisa “Mrs. Kutcher” works at Matt’s side as well as supporting the crew of Spectrum in various capacities. With an extensive background in the medical field, she brings intense focus and energy to the team and works for the success of all.



Special Effects Coordinator
Growing up in the Spectrum FX world, Matt (Smalls) has gained special effects skills beyond comparison and serves as the workshop and on-set guru. Matt handles everything from car explosions to motion bases.



Growing up in the film industry, Zack has acquired years of experience in all aspects of special effects. Zack adds a contemporary flair to Spectrum FX’s video production and is well on his way to becoming a successful Special Effects coordinator.



Taylor Kutcher, Matt’s daughter, works diligently behind the scenes and provides valuable support that keeps the Spectrum world spinning!



Special Effects Supervisor
With over 80 special effects credits, Donnie provides seasoned advice as a film industry veteran and guides our growing special effects team.



After successfully completing an associates degree in TV Production, followed by a bachelor degree in Communication, Justin Johnson was ready to apply his knowledge to the film industry. Justin has remained at Spectrum for the past 10 years, learning crucial skills and applying them through-out his career. Today he is one of our top Coordinators, with well over 30 film credits, supplying a decade of on-the-job expertise.



John brings over 27 years of prop and mold making experience to Spectrum. John is in charge of manufacturing at the Spectrum facility.



After years of delivering entertainment to homes, Ty now enjoys being on the other side of the camera and spares no effort in thoroughly preparing for every scene as if it is a trailer moment.



Special Effects Coordinator
Matt Harris brings years of experience to Spectrum from his time as an independent coordinator, and has proven himself time and again as a leader within our organization.



With a background in business management, Ashley is a quick study with a hard core work ethic. As an essential member of our team, she assists with the many logistical challenges and we expect her to become a Special Effects Coordinator in the near future.
