Matt has proven himself to be a highly versatile member of the team in our busy and tight-turnaround new format, working as a producer and director. He's also shown great capabilities as a self-shooter and edit producer. Fitting in immediately with the team, Matt has continued to impress with his eye for detail and good work ethic. He's been a great asset to our production.
Matt is a great person to have on the team. He is an enthusiastic and hardworking shooting director who knows totally well how to put a story together and has a good visual style to boot. He really cares about making the best films he can within the budget - which is an asset to have in a director. Matt is also very good with contributors and knows how to gets the best out of them while also looking after their welfare on the shoot. I would definitely hire Matt again.
Matt is a hard working PD who has a great eye. He knows how to get the best out of tricky talent and vulnerable contributors alike. He is a delighted worker who is prepared to go the extra mile when out filming. If he is available, hire him.
Matt did an outstanding job for us as PD on Channel 4's Food Unwrapped. Always calm and clear-headed in what were often challenging circumstances abroad, he could always be trusted to bring home the story, showing an ability to think quickly on his feet when the situation demanded it. He was equally comfortable with directing talent, all of whom rated him highly.
Matt recently returned to the series as an edit producer, and easily adapted to new coronavirus-inspired working practices, capably and confidently managing the edit from home.
Matt is an excellent producer and director. Creative and a good problem solver, he is a great leader of a production team, as well as a very confident manager of clients. He has an excellent ability of getting to the core of a brief and coming up with both creative and logistically sound production solutions. He is well organised, a good self-starter, and someone you can very much rely on to get the job done!
I worked with Matt last year on a very difficult access driven documentary looking 'behind the scenes' at the Royal Wedding (The Making of a Royal Wedding)...it was the most delicate and difficult access imaginable!
Matt was great at getting access to a number of high profile contributors, was great to work with and was an excellent self shooter, with a good narrative understanding. I was confident leaving him to cover a story while I was filming elsewhere.
I have no hesitation in recommending him for AP work, and would definitely work with him again.
Matthew was a great member of the team. He understands the brief, delivers on time, calmly and diligently, we look forward to working with him again in the future.
