Kat Dalager’s recommendation
I didn’t think it was possible, but I have met someone who is more obsessive/compulsive than I am about producing. I’m happy to report that Matthew Slimmer is that man. Don’t get me wrong: his behavior is in no way a disorder. Rather, it’s about being hyper-organized, efficient and thorough. And, dang it, his invoicing spreadsheets look prettier than mine. If you’re looking for someone that will produce your project with the ultimate of intelligence and care, you’ll want Matthew “Every-T-Crossed” Slimmer on your team.

Logistics included 3 separate photographers, talent coordination, location details, prop coordination and final image select deliveries. What a great person to work with – everyone from photographers, stylists and talent, employees, art director – ALL loved working with him. It made for an an extremely successful client deliverable.”
Adam’s Referral
“I’ve had the opportunity to interact with Matthew on a number of video projects from large to small. Matthew’s professionalism and attention to detail has always been a powerful asset to our productions. I’m always excited to work with Matthew and would highly recommend his services.”
– Adam Duguay – Partner / Production Director – Coelement Inc
Matthew is great. We’ve worked on a few photoshoots together and he’s been great. He’s highly organized and has a real gift for anticipating needs for everyone involved, from the photographer to art director and everyone in between. He is able to think of and prepare for whatever may come up. He thinks of all the details and tucks them away so others don’t have to deal with them. And he has to nerve to be a really nice, interesting and creative guy. Frankly, if he were producing this recommendation it would have been written much earlier.
Jon Erickson Recommendation

“Matthew has been a great person to work with no matter what the assignment. We’ve worked with him in many different capacities – Producer, Digital Tech, Castings, and he’s been the point person at the rental studio! He flows effortlessly between tasks, is always on time, professional and pleasant to be around. On top of that, he also knows how to drive some pretty damn big trucks! Highly recommended.”

I’ve worked as a model, creative director, and wardrobe stylist on commercial and editorial sets and Matthew is by far the most effective producer I’ve worked with. He addressed concerns promptly and diplomatically, while moving the project forward. The product turned out amazing because of his leadership and management.
