Matuse Family: ABC4

Dear Matuse Family,

Our opening show on Shark Week. Flat-out, it was an awesome project. Strangely enough, the show rated insanely well. In fact, it rated so well that they say it’s the 5th highest rated Shark Week show of all time. Shark Week started in 1987 – so that’s pretty awesome! I didn’t think it was “all that” but I guess it was entertaining and somewhat raw. Anyways, big thanks again to you gentlemen for the wicked suits – I love ‘em!

As for what else is in the works for me, I just signed a 3-part series contract with Nat Geo for an “extreme cameraman” show. I leave this Sunday for Cape Town to shoot the 1st episode with Great Whites – then onto Polar Bears and then Lions. No question, it will be f*cking awesome! I’m going to dive with the Polar Bears up in the Arctic near the ice floes. Insane. I’m actually more concerned about a Polar Bear eating me than a Great White! Cheers guys! Keep me posted on any cool new suits and/or products you might have so that I can test ‘em out while cruising with the perfect predators!
