ENDORSEMENTS

"The video Matt Miner produced and directed for our congregation's capital/endowment campaign has proved to be the most effective tool we have in making the case to prospective donors. Not only was the video effective and exceptionally well done, but Matt made the production process easy, efficient and pleasant."

-- Fred Rothstein, Executive Director, Congregation Neveh Shalom


"Investing in a campaign video is a much better use of money than fancy, 4-color brochures. A video enables donors to see your organization in action, to hear testimonials from community leaders, and to see the impact of contributed dollars. Matt and his team do a great job. I would recommend them to anyone."

--Tom Wilson, V.P., Campbell & Co.


"During the fifteen years I have worked with Matt Miner, I have been continuously impressed with his ability to use video to convey a powerful story."

--Jim Lewis, Lewis Kennedy Associates

OBJECTIVE

I have always had a passion for making sure people are being understood. I’ve risked embarrassment more than once leaping across a large room to correct a misunderstanding detected out of one ear. That’s why the objective of my video productions has always been to make absolutely sure that the message you intend is the message your audience receives.

PROCESS

I take as much time as needed to learn your mission and specific objective for the project at hand, and make sure that you understand how your goals will translate into video. You'll be involved in every step of the process. If you're not happy, I'm not happy. And I won’t waste your money or time any more than I’d waste my own.

ART VS. CRAFT

I like to think of video as craft more than art, like making custom golf clubs. You won’t call a hand-made putter beautiful for long if it doesn’t help you get the ball in the hole.

Staying true to these principles is the key to helping raise over $100 million for non-profit groups throughout the West, and winning a string of national awards for television promo spots. If you like what you see and what I’ve said here, let’s talk about reaching your audience next.
