ABOUT AUTHENTIC FILMS
Authentic films is my business and my name is Matt Reed.
I produce, shoot and edit the films and so you will have the convenience and clarity of dealing directly with me through the whole process of making the films.
I work in a relaxed documentary style, this is designed to keep the subject comfortable enough to express themselves naturally, letting your story unfold organically and therefore resonating with the viewer as authentic.
With over 30 years of experience for some of the worlds most recognizable media organizations you can confidently rely on me to produce, shoot and edit your videos to the highest standards.
