Hi, I’m Matt, an international filmmaker based in London & Bristol. For over a decade I’ve directed, shot, and edited digital content for a huge number of progessive movements and organisations – including politicans, charities, environmental groups and activist organisations.

Let’s work together.

Matt is always my first call when I need to do a video on a particular issue or campaign. He’s excellent at his job, and a joy to work with. From helping with the script to editing material, I’ve seen him pull together excellent short films again and again. One video we did together was watched over a million times, and even retweeted by Stormzy. I’m always trying to find ways to bring Matt into the projects and campaigns I’m working on, because I know he’ll produce work that will both further my objectives and wow our audiences.

Faiza Shaheen, Economist and Independent Parliamentary Candidate

“Matt O’Brien was a key member of Jeremy Corbyn’s General Election 2019 social media team which, despite losing the election, produced the most viral social media campaign in British political history.

He shot and edited Jeremy’s campaign launch video which was viewed by 2.5 million people on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

From shooting to editing, Matt is a very talented filmmaker. He covered on the road shoots, speeches, testimonies and Facebook News Videos. He was extremely hardworking, exceptional attention to detail and a team player who was a pleasure to work with.”

Jack Bond, Head of Social Media, Labour Party

“Our director, Matt, was enthusiastic about the project from the outset, clearly engaged with our vision and remained committed to achieving the very best results from beginning to end.”

University of Nottingham

“I have worked with Matt on several work and personal projects. Thanks to his incredible skills, expertise and knowledge, we have delivered cutting edge engaging films which have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

Matt is so easy to work with, understanding what you are trying to achieve with no effort at all. I cannot recommend his work highly enough.”

Henry Fowler, Head of Organising, GFTU
