About Reinier O.

My home location is The Netherlands, from where I can do a wide range of stories around the globe. News, background stories and human interest are the stories which have my preference.

I have all the necessary equipment to shoot high quality video (and photography). Examples of my work can be seen through the added links, and on my website: www.beyondbordersmedia.com.

About Matthew G.

I love telling stories. At its simplest I am a filmmaker. I direct films. I produce films. I edit films. But nothing is so straightforward - I’ve been an Executive Producer, a Runner, Production Assistant, “Preditor”, Head of Film and Creative Director. I’ve worked in independent production, direct with brand and closely with marketing agencies. With a nice 12 year stint in broadcast for some of the biggest names in the industry (BBC, ESPN, Al Jazeera). I have a proven track record of helping shape brand perception with stories that connect and engage with audiences. Specialising in directing short form promos, TVC’s and social media films, I also have good experience in short films as well as on longer form documentaries and brand / corporate films. Along the way I’ve been honoured to have my work recognised by Raindance Film Festival, New York Film Festival, PROMAX BDA and Red Dot – winning over 30 awards for my short form work. I love the story telling process and telling stories that communicate the right message to the right audience. If you would like my advice on any project I am now actively for hire to work. I am based between Amsterdam and London and have a remote on-line edit suite set up for any post production work you may need.
