CRAFTING STORIES THAT
RESONATE & REVERBERATE




Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch video vs only 10% reading text.

84% of consumers have made a purchase after watching a brand’s video.

There’s something compelling in every story. Something riveting enough to stir
powerful emotions and plant fertile seeds. And that obscure something is what we
seek–then capture–in every piece we produce. We can take the passion that you
have for your work, or business, and transform it into an entirely genuine,
highly memorable visual experience that simply delights your audience.

 

Mathias Magnason spearheads a versatile team at Magnason Film. He cut his teeth
in Swedish network television almost 30 years ago. In 2010, Mathias moved to New
York and established Magnason Film. Mathias has since won over 30 film festival
awards. His creative video productions have been watched by millions of people
on public broadcast and online.

 

At Magnason Film, we know stories drive the world. Video helps viewers see,
hear, feel, connect and become the customer. Video is oxygen for your business.


CREATIVE VIDEO PRODUCTION
NEEDS A BLUEPRINT



“Mathias was very confident and natural in his process, and also respected my
input
whenever I had ideas or concerns. He honored my budget and worked within my time
frame. I absolutely love the end result.” – Singer-songwriter Katy Mantyk…



Like building a house, every video production needs a solid plan. When you build
upon a
foundation, your filmmaking experience will be enjoyable and uplifting.
Depending on
your budget and needs, we can lead the journey beginning to end, or we can step
in to
oversee a specific stage of your filmmaking process.

Magnason Film is an award-winning film and video production company
specializing in nonfiction storytelling. Here’s how we can help you.


 *

05. CONSULTATION.



Tap into Mathias Magnason’s decades of filmmaking and specialized acting
training to avert early-career blunders and off-target videos. Collaborate on an
audio-visual plan that rings true to your market, uniquely aligned with your
goals.



01. DOCUMENTARY.



Documentaries, in all their raw and honest glory, are unmatched in their ability
to foster trust. When your story is spun from the threads of sincerity, viewers
transform from consumers to co-travelers on a shared journey. This shared
narrative establishes an emotional resonance that outshines all other mediums.



02. COMMERCIAL & PROMO.



The best sales tactic is the one that feels like a conversation, not a sales
pitch. By harnessing our expertise, we turn commercials into riveting short
documentaries, igniting the viewer’s imaginative flame. In doing so, we stir
emotions far beyond the reach of conventional advertisements.



03. EDUCATIONAL VIDEO.



Educational videos are a cost-effective way to build trust and loyalty within
your market. When you offer free advice, you add value to the viewer’s life,
bypassing any resistance someone may have to a sales pitch or to hearing about a
new enterprise. Since they are so easily shared, educational videos position
you as an authority in a global marketplace, allowing you to rapidly expand your
customer base.



04. MONTHLY VIDEO PACKAGE.



In a cost-effective partnership, we’ll work with you and develop a video series
that illustrates your customer’s pain points and your enterprise’s solutions.
Overtime, your video series will develop trust and loyalty in your market,
positioning you as a trustworthy authority.

MATHIAS MAGNASON

Founder & Creative Director



Mathias has loved storytelling his entire life. At the age of 5, he was obsessed
with Robert Ludlum’s Bourne series. At age 18, his uncle—an award-winning
cinematographer—offered him an internship. On the sets of movies and drama TV,
Mathias entered the world of visual storytelling. For five years, Mathias
assisted in various roles, from producing to directing,  editing, lighting and
sound design. He fell in love with the magic, spirit and tenacity of the
industry. 

 

Motivated to create films that would impact the world, Mathias went on his own.
The United Nations hired Mathias for his directorial debut, where he shot a
documentary about a cultural exchange between two schools in Sweden and Malawi,
southern Africa. Working with the African children was so rewarding, they
inspired Mathias to continue down the road of making humanitarian-focused
documentaries. 

 

In his second film—“Article 23”—Mathias produced a 20-minute documentary that
told the story of Falun Gong, the persecuted spiritual group in China. At a time
when no one else would touch the subject, Mathias was able to get it aired on
broadcast TV in Sweden. 

 

In 2010, Mathias moved to the US and founded Magnason Film to continue making
impactful documentaries and to produce videos for commercial clients. Since its
inception, Magnason Film’s videos and films have earned over 30 film festival
awards and garnered millions of views across social media. 

 

Tireless in his desire to improve his filmmaking craft, Mathias has been
studying acting at the Michael Chekhov School of Acting since 2018. He initially
began his acting study to improve his communication with actors, but Mathias has
found a second love, having as much fun in front of the camera as behind it.
