Today we’d like to introduce you to Matt Ryan and Amparo Bueno.
Hi Matt and Amparo, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We’ve been partners in life since 2008, married since 2014. Early in our relationship, we worked your standard retail/restaurant jobs while finishing school, eventually landing together at the same sales and marketing firm. At this point Matt, having been behind a camera since his high school days making movies with friends, would work the occasional video job but it was barely a side hustle. We’d daydream about a potential future where we ran a production company together.
Cut to now and that dream is a reality. Matt eventually went freelance as a video producer and, in the wake of the pandemic, Amparo left her sales operations job in tech to join him. Mister Films became a family business.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has certainly had its ups and downs. Obviously the pandemic was a hugely destabilizing event for business owners and freelancers. But we’ve persevered due to our wide ranging skills. We’re not just freelance artists and producers, but business owners and project managers. And while some may balk at working with your spouse, we view it as an asset. We work well as partners in everything, including raising a 5 year old daughter.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We make videos, plain and simple. We make marketing, training, music, and real estate videos as well as commercials, short films, documentaries and more. We started this company specifically so we wouldn’t be pigeonholed into making one singular type of content and we love the freedom and adventure that affords. What truly sets us apart are the skills we bring in addition to production, having spent years in corporate sales, marketing and operations.
We’re most proud of work we’ve done that directly benefits communities such as creating content for rural health clinics to help reach at risk populations. That’s what our work is about, helping others expand their reach. Our brand revolves around helping clients shape their voice; creating content that fulfills their goals and connects with their audience. We amplify brands and causes through cinematic video.
Any big plans?
Looking to the future, like any business, we hope to grow and create more partnerships. We are looking for opportunities to collaborate long term with new businesses and marketing partners.
