Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Mattia Ferrante. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Mattia, appreciate you joining us today. How did you scale up? What were the strategies, tactics, meaningful moments, twists/turns, obstacles, mistakes along the way? We’d love to hear the backstory the illustrates how you grew your brand.
My name is Mattia Ferrante, and I want to share the journey of how my film production company scaled up over the last few years, despite facing significant adversity.
A pivotal strategy we employed was optimizing our workflow. We focused on streamlining processes from pre-production to post-production. By leveraging project management tools and fostering a culture of open communication, we reduced inefficiencies and ensured everyone was on the same page. This approach allowed us to handle more projects simultaneously without compromising on quality.
Another crucial aspect of our growth was forming partnerships with creative individuals who were passionate about bringing essential and relevant topics to life. These collaborations infused fresh ideas into our projects and helped us stay culturally and socially relevant. For instance, we teamed up with a brilliant scriptwriter on a film about climate change that resonated deeply with audiences and garnered critical acclaim.
There were numerous meaningful moments throughout our journey. One of the most memorable periods was during the shooting of our breakout film. We often worked long hours, sometimes through the night, but the crew and cast were phenomenal. Their dedication and passion transformed what could have been grueling work into a series of unforgettable experiences. These moments of pure magic on set reminded us why we love filmmaking.
Our journey wasn’t without its twists and turns. A significant career-changing twist came when we took on what seemed like a straightforward thriller. Midway through production, we realized the story had the potential to delve into much deeper social issues. We pivoted, reshaping the narrative to explore these themes. This risky decision paid off, earning us recognition for tackling complex and meaningful subjects.
We faced several obstacles, including union strikes and industry changes. During one major strike, we had to halt production for weeks. We used this time to reevaluate our strategies and focus on post-production work that could be done without the full crew. It was also a period of advocacy and learning, where we understood the importance of fair labor practices. Adapting to industry changes, like the shift towards streaming platforms, required us to stay agile and open to new distribution methods.
Along the way, we made mistakes that taught us valuable lessons. One of the biggest was early in my career when I underestimated the importance of marketing. We produced a high-quality film but didn’t allocate enough resources to promote it effectively. This experience taught me that no matter how good the product is, reaching the audience is crucial. Now, marketing is an integral part of our strategy from day one.
Despite the challenges and setbacks, our passion for filmmaking and the incredible team we’ve built have driven our success. We look forward to continuing our journey and creating more impactful films in the future.

Mattia, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My journey into the film industry started with a deep-rooted passion for storytelling and cinema. From a young age, I was captivated by the power of film to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and bring stories to life. This passion led me to study film production in college, where I honed my technical skills and developed a keen understanding of the intricacies of filmmaking.
After graduation, I worked on various film sets, absorbing as much knowledge and experience as I could. I quickly realized that my true calling was not just in participating in the creation of films but in leading and shaping the entire production process. This realization spurred me to establish Matifer LLC, with the vision of creating impactful and culturally relevant films.
