About Me

My name is Matan Berman and I am an award-winning documentary filmmaker and nonfiction storyteller. I have extensive experience working on both fiction and nonfiction films, and I am ready and able to fill any role on your production.

In 2023, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Documentary Studies and History minor from Ithaca College. Having spent much of my time in the Park School of Communications, I was given the opportunity to develop my skills and own projects.

I have considerable experience in multiple spheres within pre-production, including but not limited to: research, logistics & planning, budgeting, fundraising, contacting and developing working relationships with film subjects, and story development. This also includes archival production, in which my educational background in history lends heavily to inform my work. I am highly experienced in interviewing and directing for nonfiction, and I also am very capable with a camera (Sony FX6, DSLR, Canon C200, Bolex, etc.). Additionally, I have experience in lighting and sound mixing. I am a competent editor and I have an innate ability for storytelling.

My passion for documentaries and filmmaking comes out whenever I am able to talk or be a part of a production team. I am a hard-worker, with a positive attitude and an unmatched passion for filmmaking and capturing the human experience. As a freelancer, I am always looking for new opportunities.
