“A pleasure to work with Matthew on various projects over the past four years in London and Suffolk. He is professional, extremely knowledgable, flexible and all round, fantastic to work with. Highly recommend Matt and his production team!”

Robyn Woronka, PhD researcher studying Cinematic Geography

“We worked with Other Brother Studios in producing a short community-based video covering various Suffolk towns. We found them great to work with -flexible, easy going and professional. We were very pleased with the resulting video.”

Chris Wade, Director, the People & Places Partnership

“We've worked with Matthew & Other Brother Studios many many times over the past few years, and have always been happy with their attention to detail, their ability to make whatever our vision is come to life, and their 'nothing is a problem' attitude.

The next time we're producing any video content, Other Brother will be first on the list to work with. Big thumbs up, all of the stars, etc etc. See you soon.”

Curtis Stansfield, Some Voices

“We worked with Matt and his team at Other Brother Studios to produce videos remotely for our Ridgeview Wine client. The process was fast, with clear and regular communication and the end result was fantastic with everyone incredibly happy and some fantastic results from the campaign. Hope to work together for many years to come.”

Tom Harvey, Yesmore Beverage Marketing Agency

“Matt and his team are my first call when looking to collaborate on international productions for broadcast television. Matt goes to great lengths to understand the creative direction of our projects and brings with it, professionalism, artistry and a wealth of knowledge. They always deliver exceptional productions and it is a pleasure to work with Other Brother Studios.“

Alexandra Edwards, Stingray C-Music

“I’ve been working with Matt for several years and he always brings creativity and professionalism to every job we do. His combination of technical knowledge and artistic flair ensues every film we make is a thing of beauty that consistently wows clients. Wholeheartedly recommend.”

Andrew Mills, School Reel

“It was a pleasure to work with the creative minds at Other Brother Studios. They went to great lengths to ensure they understood the ethos of our work and our hopes for the film. They had a clear vision for the piece and captured the sensitive nature and the human side of our work which resulted in a beautiful, engaging and touching film. They were required to film in a challenging environment with many restrictions, however, they handled this with ease and care. We are very grateful to have such a high quality and professional film to share our work with the world.”

Bridie Coombes, Project Development Officer, Suffolk Artlink

"Other Brother Studios were super professional, down-to-earth and easy to work with. The final product was a beautiful, high-quality visual explanation of what we offer as a business, and we're grateful that they managed to capture the essence of our company in such a unique and memorable way."

Adele Barlow, Head of Content & Communications, Makers Academy

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Other Brother Studios. Their inquisitive nature, friendly approach and eye for detail helped us tell our story in an honest and engaging way. The end result is a beautiful short film that wonderfully encapsulates our ethos, leading to measurable and remarkable results. We cannot wait to bring them back to the distillery, to capture the next stage of our adventure.”

Abbie and Chris, Cooper King Distillery

“Having seen the body of work Matthew was capable of delivering when he was awarded the Film Fund bursary, co-founded by the Roundhouse and Ex-Animo Foundation, we were quick to approach him again to commission him to direct and produce another animated short film, which went on to win many awards. Matthew has established himself as a highly commended film director, and Other Brother Studios as a professional and respected entity in the film production industry.

We have known Matthew for over 6 years, working together, and have always found him a person of great integrity and a bona fide professional with a truly impressive showreel. We were also delighted to hear that Other Brother Studios started their own Film Fund to continue impact investing in young filmmakers.”

Marlena Hellebø, Ex Animo Foundation

“We were knocked out by the video we made with Matt and the team at Other Brother Studios. They made it really easy to get something positive together and delivered on everything they said they were going to do and more. The video concept Matt delivered was spot on, and the shoot and all that followed matched that. Brilliant! Great result. Thanks to you all."
