Available to hire
Hi, I’m Matt Holland—a filmmaker who wears many hats in the world of film and television. I love telling stories with images and bring a hands-on, collaborative approach to every project, whether I’m directing a short, shooting a documentary, or cutting a reel in the edit suite.
Over the years I’ve worked across Canada on independent shorts, television, and commercial campaigns, always focusing on clean visuals, precise storytelling, and strong collaboration with clients and crews. When I’m not on set, you’ll find me in nature, chasing time-lapse scenes, or in the woodshop tinkering with a new project.
