Matchbox is a multimedia network of independent storytellers.
A collaboration of filmmakers, journalists, photographers, composers and designers. An experimental platform blending traditional narrative models with innovative production and distribution methods. Matchbox gives voice to untold stories by building an inclusive relationship with audiences and subjects around the world.
With headquarters in London, bases in Rome, Bologna and Istanbul, and previous footprints in Cape Verde, Azerbaijan and Congo, Matchbox is on the road frequently.
The group puts special emphasis on new ways of producing and financing media, as shown by its first entirely crowdfunded feature-length documentary ‘Sandgrains’.
Matchbox aims to expand and deepen the link with their audience, enabling artistic freedom and aggregating talent, transforming spectators into participants and allowing projects to become experiences.
Individual and collaborative projects appear in major national and international magazines, newspapers, festivals, radio and television channels. Works have been distributed by Al Jazeera, Spiegel Online, Rtve, The Guardian, Vice, Radio France International, RAI, Le Monde and El Pais, to name just a few.
