Behind THE PRODUCER
Film and Television Experience
Hailing from a small town in Minnesota, Matt Manders, founder of Behind the Moments, ventured to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming a documentary filmmaker in the film and television industry. Since then, his journey has led him to collaborate and create content on numerous projects for major networks such as Amazon, A&E, HBO, History Channel, MTV, BET, Paramount +, and E!, as well as YouTube. With a diverse portfolio, Matt has amassed a range of credits, including acclaimed documentaries like "Streets of Compton," "LA Riots: 25 Years Later," "Biggie: The Life of Notorious B.I.G.," "Death Row Chronicles," "No Limit Chronicles," and "Mary J. Blige's My Life," among others.
Throughout his career, Matt has had the privilege of narrating the life stories of various celebrities, contributing to iconic shows like E! True Hollywood Story and Behind the Music. Which helped lead him to where he is today...
Behind the Moments Conception
While working on a personal documentary project for a client's birthday, Matt had a realization. As friends and family shared their heartfelt stories during interviews, he was reminded the profound impact of capturing life's biggest moments on film. This sparked an idea: why limit such powerful storytelling to celebrities alone?
Having traveled the globe, encountering people from all walks of life, Matt recognized the richness of individual narratives. He saw the potential to offer the public their own version of "True [City] Story" or instead of delving "Behind the Music" with a famous musician, why not go Behind the Moments of everyday people and create content that will leave a lasting impact? These genuine, untold stories have the power to transcend time, leaving a legacy for future generations to cherish for personal use - or enhance your brand.
