WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
⌵
Meet Mat Collings, Founder + Director + Swell Guy!
I absolutely love making videos and bringing creative ideas to life in a fun, easy-going way! I thrive on capturing authentic moments and telling personal stories that truly connect.
With over 15 years of filmmaking experience, I bring a story-driven approach that evokes emotion and delivers real value through creative concepts, planning, filming, and editing. I’m passionate about creating honest, relatable stories that build trust and foster personal connections with the brands I work with. My strategic approach ensures that each project generates versatile content, helping clients spread their message and brand identity across multiple platforms. I do this all with a huge smile on my face and—apologies in advance—a dad joke or two along the way.
West Coast Love
As a husband, father, and filmmaker, I feel incredibly lucky to live and work here on the West Coast. BC has always been home—growing up in the Comox Valley, cutting my teeth in Vancouver, and now being back on Vancouver Island feels amazing. From the mountains to the rivers, forests, and sea, this place constantly fuels my creativity. Nature is our greatest asset, pushing me to deliver my best work through every season—the snow, the rain, and the sunshine. I'm proud to be a BC filmmaker and bring that unique West Coast sensibility to every video project I take on.

Brand Stories
Story-driven brand films are a powerful way to connect with your audience. A well-crafted video tells your unique story and builds trust in a way that text or photos alone can’t. When people connect with your story, they’re more likely to engage and become loyal customers.
Event Videos
Event videos are a powerful way to showcase the heart and energy behind your team and your brand. Whether you're hosting a corporate gathering in Vancouver or a community celebration on Vancouver Island, capturing the story behind the event brings it to life and keeps the excitement going long after it’s over.
Content Creation
Stand out online with stunning video content creation across all your digital platforms. By building a library of high-quality videos, including customer testimonials, your customers will instantly recognize what makes you awesome. Let's create content that makes an impact!
I had the pleasure of working with Mathew Collings from Hometown Creative several times this year, including our Everyone Wellness Day event last fall. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Mathew has a gift for capturing the heart of an event, preserving the energy, emotion, and connections that make it special. He delivered insightful, engaging short videos that beautifully showcase the experience and will help promote future events.
What sets Mathew apart is his ability to capture genuine, often overlooked moments with care and artistry. His work goes beyond filming—he creates an atmosphere that resonates long after the event. If you want high-quality videography and authentic storytelling, I highly recommend Mathew and Hometown Creative.
