Documenting how and why creators create.
I make films about mavericks and makers who create because they have to.
“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 found an audience on Youtube and the participants liked working with me and we all enjoyed the results ……so I have decided to do it full time.
The films are unscripted and collaborate, I enjoy the process and showing the participants at their best.
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.
