Documentary & Commercial Filmmaker

Fueling brand growth through story


ABOUT MATT

I’m a filmmaker with a background in marketing strategy.

I’ve spent the past decade working both in-house and full-time freelancing with wildly talented teams, and I’m excited to bring what I’ve learned to brands of all sizes.

PARTNERS, NOT PROJECTS

My approach is rooted in building collaborative relationships that extend beyond the immediate scope of a project.

By prioritizing partnerships, I invest time in understanding a brand's core values, objectives, and unique challenges. My aim is to truly come alongside brands and contribute to growth, evolution, and ongoing success.

My process begins with strategywhy before what.

After identifying what problems we want to solve, we can then dream up captivating solutions and bring them to life.

“Matt is the definition of professional.

The work is always reliable, clean and timely, and his execution is typically flawless with very little additional direction needed.”

D.J. Piehowski | Executive Producer, No Laying Up

“Working with Matt is a dream!

He has produced dozens of videos for me and every time he listens to the needs of our business and quickly creates a media strategy from script to screen that is truly best in class.

Plus, he’s great under pressure. I can’t wait to work with him again!”

Cindy Turer l Associate Director Media Productions, Fortune 500 Company

“Matt exceeded expectations.

Under a very tight timeline he delivered a high-quality video production. Very receptive to client's wishes and also took the lead to explain what would make for the best quality.

A five-star experience all around!”

Chloe Knouff | Marketing, FAST

“Matt really sought to understand our particular needs, as well as our business before doing a shoot.

This let him tailor the shoot to the ethos and purpose of our company. We also were impressed by his level of detail on site — continually came up with new ideas throughout the shoot and never pressed or rushed us.

We'll be using Matt again.”

Kevin Moore | Partner, GolfBlueprint

MY SERVICES

  • Before producing content, I spend time listening, learning, and digging to better understand pain points, areas of opportunity, and precisely who we’re trying to reach.

    We’ll unearth the psychographics and demographics of our target audience, language that resonates with them, and how we can more effectively engage them through video.

    Creating a video strategy gives us a north star for all content going forward. We’ll boil down our insights and use them as a guide for voice, tone, and direction as we move into producing content for your brand.

  • With our strategic plan in hand, I dream up concepts, treatments, visual inspiration, and creative options we can explore further.

    With originality as a priority, this collaborative time allows us to dream big and craft concepts that resonate squarely with our objectives and target audience.

  • From tackling logistics to leveraging my creative network on production days, I thrive at taking concepts from script to screen…on-budget and on-schedule.

    As a director/DP, I’m able to scale my operation up or down to fit any budget and scope.

  • Finding and finessing the story down to the frame is possibly the most important part of what I do.

    The attention to detail required to juice every ounce of quality out of our footage and audio is what takes projects to another level.

    Editing, motion design, color grading, and audio mastering — I handle all post-production in-house for my brand partners & agencies.
