Biography

Premier assistant opérateur sur Adam at Six A.M. de Robert Scheerer (1970), puis cadreur notamment sur L'Organisation de Don Medford (1971), Matthew F. Leonetti débute comme chef opérateur au cinéma sur The Bat People de Jerry Jameson (1974, avec Marianne McAndrew et Michael Pataki), dont il est en outre producteur exécutif, unique expérience à ce titre.

Parmi ses films suivants, citons La Bande des quatre de Peter Yates (1979, avec Dennis Christopher et Dennis Quaid), Poltergeist de Jerry Hopper (1982, avec Heather O'Rourke, Craig T.

Frère aîné du directeur de la photographie et réalisateur John R. Leonetti (né en 1956), il dirige les prises de vues de sa première réalisation, Mortal Kombat : Destruction finale (1997, avec Robin Shou et James Remar).

Le dernier de ses cinquante-deux films américains (parfois en coproduction) comme chef opérateur — à ce jour — est Dumb and Dumber De des frères Peter et Bobby Farrelly (avec Jim Carrey et Jeff Daniels), sorti aux États-Unis le 14 novembre 2014.

Pour la télévision, entre 1974 et 1988 à ce jour, il est directeur de la photographie sur trois séries et trente-et-un téléfilms, dont L'Appel de la forêt de Jerry Jameson (1976, avec John Beck).
