ABOUT MATT COWAN

Getting the shot” seems like an amazing stroke of luck; being in the right position, at the precise moment, with ideal light conditions. As you consider what it takes to actually make that happen consistently and on schedule, it’s anything but spontaneous and accidental.The magic about great entertainment is the audience’s immersion into the experience overshadows any awareness of the craft, technique and preparation behind the performance and how it’s captured and shared.So, “getting the shot” is precise planning and trusted relationships, the tremendous talent in front of and behind the cameras and microphones, who converge at the location and moment in time to get the shot.Pulling that all together is where I come in. And placing the product in distribution channels to yield revenue that grows the business and funds the next production.Examples:Strategic planning for large tent-pole award shows and events, including the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, HCA Film and TV Awards, CDGA\'s, Grammy’s, Academy Awards and Coachella.Booked relevant Talent for Portrait studios at the Sundance Film Festival presented by Canon, Toronto Film Festival presented by TheWrap, SxSW, Tribeca Festival 2023, Hollywood Critics Association, Television Critics’ TCA’s.EVENTS & FESTIVALSAward ShowsPremiere CoverageRed-Carpet EventsFilm & Music FestivalsFYC CampaignsARTIST LIAISONManage & Coordinate Talent BookingsOversee Meet, Greet & Care of TalentTop-Tier Press & PR RelationshipsPop Culture, Trends & Breaking NewsPRODUCTION / CONTENT CREATIONBranded Editorial ContentPre-Production Planning & MgmtDigital & Print MediaCreative Direction & OversightCross-Functional, Event Support TeamsBuild StorytellingOPERATIONS & ADMINISTRATIONEditorial & Production CalendarsProject ManagementBudgets & Cost ControlStrategic Distribution of Photos & ContentAnnual & 5-Year Strategic Operating Plans
