Testimonials
"We had the pleasure of working with Matt during the
most significant and critical stage for our animation
studio, where we were selecting the right distribution
partners.
His support was invaluable - not only in identifying and
evaluating potential distributors but also in advising
and helping to navigate through complex distribution-
related matters.
His knowledge, guidance, and professionalism made
a significant impact that led us to the successful
decision. We deeply value his contribution to our
team."
Mindaugas Jokubaitis, CEO
Oak9 Entertainment
Matt has been the backbone of our
work for WorkWise for Screen,
devoting a lot of time to building the
database of speakers for our events -
and organising the speakers and
editorial for the events going
forward. Frankly I'd be lost without
him!

Testimonials
"We had the pleasure of working with Matt on the
international distribution of our kids factual entertainment
series.
His advice and support was invaluable - connecting us
with potential distributors but also in advising and helping
in negotiations and agreements. He understood where
distributors were coming from and was able to advise on
the best approach.
He was quick and reliable and always clear and concise
in all his communications, which I very much
appreciated. Matt's industry knowledge, experience and
advice was a great support to us."
Kate Finn, Creative Director
