You know you need to be on camera.
The process just feels... heavy.

You've seen competitors with great founder videos. You know it builds trust. But:

Hiring a full agency feels like overkill (and $$$)
DIY looks like DIY
You don't have weeks to dedicate to "pre-production"
You just want it done — and done well

That's exactly why we built this.

This is for you if:

  • You're a founder or exec who needs to be on camera
  • You want polished content, not a DIY look
  • You value speed — 2 weeks, not 2 months
  • You need a nimble team, not a big agency
  • You're based in or near NYC (or can be for a day)

This is probably not a fit if:

  • You need a multi-day, multi-location production
  • You're looking for the cheapest option above all else
  • You want to direct every creative decision yourself
  • You need it by tomorrow (we need ~2 weeks lead time)

Hey, I'm James.

I'm a producer and founder of Matchbox Media, based in NYC. I started Matchbox to help tell stories without the usual production headaches.

Before this, I've produced independent films, led go-to-market strategy at a digital consultancy, been a frontline tech seller, and built campaigns across live events, social, and brand content. I've been on both sides — selling the vision and making it real.

What I've learned: most companies don't need a massive production. They need a nimble team who gets what they're trying to say, shows up prepared, and delivers something they're proud to share.

That's what this is.
