Early life

He was formerly married to filmmaker Stephanie Joline from 2009 to 2015.<ref>Bruce DeMara, "Heartbeat lets Halifax and cast shine through: review". Waterloo Region Record, November 27, 2014.</ref>

Career

Clattenburg's jump from music to television began with his co-hosting and production of a Halifax Cable 10 show, That Damn Cable Show, from 1990 to 1993. The program featured on-location interviews and profiles of Halifax entertainers, many of whom were acquaintances of Clattenburg's through his band contacts. Wedged in between the entertainer segments were comedic three-minute clips that displayed his early talent for irreverent film making. That Damn Cable Show was remarkable for its high production values despite being a local cable channel production on a shoestring budget, and made an early name for Clattenburg in film production circles.

Outgrowing the local cable television station, Clattenburg made the move to professional television production with work on comedy and drama programs at CBC Television, including Pit Pony, Street Cents, The Bette Show, and a variety of segments for Sesame Street. His credits include the direction of music videos for Gord Downie, Len, The Tragically Hip, comedy rap group Three Loco,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and, most recently, a rap video for Far East Movement featuring Riff Raff of Three Loco.Template:Citation needed

In addition to Trailer Park Boys and its associated films Trailer Park Boys: The Movie, Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day and Trailer Park Boys 3: Don't Legalize It, Clattenburg also directed the films Afghan Luke<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Moving Day, which were released in Toronto and Halifax on July 20, 2012,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and the short film Crackin' Down Hard.

He is co-creator, executive producer, co-writer (along with Aaron McGruder), and director of the Adult Swim series Black Jesus, which premiered on August 7, 2014.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

He is co-creator (along with Mike O'Neill from Trailer Park Boys), director and an executive producer of Canadian television comedy series Crawford,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> which premiered as a streaming video on February 2, 2018.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
