Hi, I’m Matthew J. Thornton, a film editor, filmmaker, and storytelling strategist with 10+ years of experience across documentary, commercial, and digital media. I founded Griffin Co Productions and lead projects from concept through final delivery, focusing on story-first, documentary-driven storytelling. I’ve led post-production on Ullberg: Winds in the Sails, shaping narrative, pacing, and editorial decisions to meet PBS broadcast standards. I also designed editorial workflows across Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and I apply AI-assisted workflows to support visual development, iterative editing, and creative problem-solving. I collaborate closely with clients, partners, and creative teams to translate vision into clear, compelling media.
I focus on narrative structure, pacing, and editorial decision-making, with a clear, structured approach to creative evaluation, workflow design, and constructive feedback that helps teams grow.
