Matter Films is an independent film production company based in New York City working with filmmakers globally to bring powerful, evocative stories to life
Matter Films is an independent film production company founded by Christopher Behlau and Lia Walton. Based in New York City, we work closely with filmmakers globally to develop creative visions and tell powerful and evocative stories through films that matter. Our international background has enabled us to establish solid networks of financiers, sponsors, film funds and government initiatives, predominantly in the US, Europe and the Middle East, to secure top partners and implement tailored fundraising strategies.
Whether through raising funds or line-producing in far flung destinations, on projects with subjects as diverse as the humanities, the environment or politics, we pride ourselves on our ability to think contextually and adapt to new environments, enabling us to overcome the challenges of filmmaking and to meet the needs of our global partners.
Scour the earth to reveal riveting and relevant stories in a lasting, meaningful and powerful way to evoke change in global audiences.
