optical + photo-electric image capture of human effort IN PLACE AND TIME
With lens and camera, IDLE MATTER crafts, it does not fabricate.
IDLE MATTER makes documentary videos, films, and photos in order to share stories that might otherwise go untold for lack of resources, time, or will.
while some projects promote products, services, or organizations, others are made for the sake of the story alone.
no ask is too complex or too basic. IDLE MATTER meets subjects and stakeholders where they are to tell authentic stories.
we run sets that center the subject experience while achieving high fidelity results. to tell real stories with real people, less is often more.
creative support and production scope are shaped to project and partner goals. we’re happy to start from scratch or to produce our partner’s vision. we tailor teams to fit the task at hand.
the core team brings together 25+ years of experience in advertising, public relations, and independent documentary, having worked in-house and externally with startups, pillars of the fortune 500, non-profits, and everything in between.
we know what project stakeholders are up against and pride ourselves on making production work for everyone involved.
IDLE MATTER is actively engaged in telling stories with partners committed to honest capture.
we seek additional stories and partners. if this is you, let’s have a conversation, regardless of your current resources.
