Pleased to meet you! My name is Matt,

Matt Smith

Owner/Producer/Cinematographer

I started my film production career in 2009 working a documentary for the National Park Service in Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave. Since that summer, I’ve moved around the nation and played a lot of different roles on set. After working as a camera operator in Los Angeles for some time, I moved to my home state of Ohio and started Franklin House Media in 2017.

My initial goal with FHM was to provide local businesses with reliable, high-end video production, regardless of budgetary constraints. Over time, FHM evolved to align with one of my personal passions, wildlife conservation. We now work with Disney’s Animal Kingdom to produce educational content focusing on wildlife conservation and paths that we all can take to better protect our planet. We also work within the regenerative agriculture movement to bring a voice to the growers and scientists working towards a more sustainable food web. Environmental film making has always been my passion and I feel blessed to be able to make a living in this space.

Make no mistake, however, FHM still provides video marketing content for businesses of any size! We draw on our experience in documentary film making to help craft a more provocative story that can hold an audience, while educating them on your organization’s mission and offerings.
