When things go wrong, I find a way to fix them and keep the project on track.

Knowing the Industry

I keep up with the latest trends and technologies in movies to make sure our films are up-to-date.

Matty Bracco

Production Manager

Thank you for making a difference and helping us create an unforgettable experience

via DisneytheHub - Sept 27, 2019

On September 26, 2019, Matthieu was working on the D23 "Oogie Boogie Bash" video project. He is recognized for doing an outstanding job leading a "B-unit crew" grabbing B-Roll during the event. This was his first time being in charge of a crew on his own and his instincts were on point. Especially, when the crew had recorded some content that was not on the approved list and his ability to communicate that promptly and professionally. Matthieu has an outstanding skill set with being personable and professional. He is always eager to help out with any task and has a positive attitude. Also, Matthieu was engaging with our Character Manager assigned to the project, helping to keep the crew on schedule and focused. He is a valuable asset to our team showing great promise.

Matthieu was a great production assistant and asset to the production. He helped with whatever was needed on set, including light grip duties, coordination of meals, and wrangling of talent. I would hire him for any shoot, anytime!
