“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”
Method
Authentic Films is owned and operated by me Matt Reed. I’ve been a filmmaker and photographer for my whole career. And as such Authentic Films started as an excuse to meet other creatives whose work I found interesting.
The films are unscripted and collaborate, I work with very light gear by myself You give me access and openness, and I give you a film that looks the way you feel on your best day. That’s a fair trade.
What to expect
If you’re in the film: it should feel like spending time with someone interesting, not like work. I only choose to film people I’d like to have a drink with. There are no ambushes, and the story comes out of the connection. You’re invited into the process, not just filmed by it.
““...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’””
