CLIMATE STORYTELLING
Throughout my career, I have made a point to call attention to, cover, and craft stories around climate.
As a local news journalist, I produced a half-hour documentary about climate solutions in my state.
As a national correspondent, I covered climate initiatives across the country.
With Pearl Impact Media, my first client was a climate funder built to help smaller nonprofits implement IRA payments.
I'd love to work with you next.
My heart is with our planet. If you're working to protect it, I'd love to showcase your efforts with meaningful, memorable video storytelling.
INVEST IN OUR FUTURE
This video is a beautiful example of telling an organization's story through the voices of those it serves.
Invest in Our Future was formed to help solar and clean energy nonprofits implement funds from the Inflation Reduction Act. Two years into their run, they sought a video that showcased their monumental impact in such a short time.
I shot interviews and footage in suburban D.C. and the Bay Area. I then folded in video from several of IOF's grantees to convey the full scope of their impact.
RESOURCE RURAL
This organization uses a mix of storytelling - writing, video, and photography - to shine a spotlight on community building in America's rural towns and cities.
I had the privilege of collaborating on several photo projects in rural Georgia, which may have gone uncovered without Resource Rural's work.
TEACHING CLIMATE CHANGE
In my home state of New Jersey, climate education is now mandatory in grades K-12, incorporated into every subject.
As a national correspondent with Scripps News, I visited a school district and looked at the landscape surrounding the issue.
PLAN G
Local news barely covers climate beyond the headlines. We decided to change it in a big way at WXIA-TV in Atlanta. I shot, wrote, and edited this documentary short that looked at climate solutions across the state of Georgia.

Testimonials
"From the first meeting it was clear that we had found the right storyteller. Matt ran with weaving together a strong narrative with limited guidance and was incredibly thorough and clear in his communication throughout the process. The end result was a highly compelling snapshot of our work that was well received by our funding partners."
