“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.”

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."
