Apart from his career as a film director, Mamat was a founder and owner of his cafe, Sarang Art Hub which is located at Tanjung Malim and opened in 2016.<ref>{{cite web |author=Rosman Shamsudin | title = Mamat 'buat' sarang| publisher =Harian Metro| date =19 May 2015| url = https://www.hmetro.com.my/node/52026| accessdate = 26 June 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Ahmad A.

==Life and career== Mamat was born on 6 April 1963 in Ipoh, Perak. As a young boy, he used to go to the cinemas every other day to catch the latest movies. Unfortunately, his hobby did not resonate well with his father, who banned him from frequenting cinemas even on his deathbed (because his father died too early at the age of 52, when he was twelve years old in 1975). However, that did not break the young Mamat's passion for films.

Before venturing into film-making, Mamat worked in a government office. He was a fan of rock music, having joined an amateur band named Drop Out in 1986 where he was the band's keyboardist.<ref name="RockUtusan">{{cite news|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2005&dt=1129&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Hiburan&pg=hi_01.htm|date=29 November 2005|title=Rock - Cetusan pengalaman Mamat Khalid|author=Abd.

(2013), ''Rock Bro!'' (2016) and ''Rock 4: Rockers Never Dai'' (2020).

He cited the late director, musician cum legendary actor P. Ramlee as one of his filmmaking heroes or idols.

==Personal life== Mamat married Hasmah Hassan on 14 April 1987, a week after his 23rd birthday and the couple are blessed with five children, three sons and two daughters.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2008&dt=1001&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Keluarga&pg=ke_01.htm|title=Keluarga pengikat kasih Mamat|author=Shazryn Mohd.
