Documentary films
Award-winning documentary filmmaking
At Mattaboni Media, we provide cinematography for documentaries and take each film from the first sit-down interview to the final cut. Our work includes Ma Roons, a nationally award-winning documentary on the Pottsville Maroons, which Louis shot and edited as cinematographer and post-production editor.
We've also shot WWE documentaries aired on A&E and Peacock. For every interview, we spend hours setting up lights and tweaking them to perfection, then edit the film in-house, with color grading and audio clean-up, so every voice comes through clearly.
