Matchbox Media Collective a creative multimedia network that produces groundbreaking work for empowered audiences. We pioneer cutting-edge production and distribution techniques by offering artists more freedom to collaborate and audiences more opportunity for involvement. We are a fluid enterprise; continually evolving, and producing work that strives to make an impact.

We believe that media in all its forms can act as a powerful agent of change, and our collective is at the forefront of developing this potential. Our projects aim to raise awareness and connect with the viewer with the hope of instigating social change. We think it essential for both artists to be allowed maximum potential for freedom of expression and for the public to be given an increased role in the production and distribution of original works.

The collective is organized horizontally and across boundaries. Our productions strive to highlight areas of knowledge, showcase cultures and present points of view that are often overlooked in mainstream media. We support and facilitate hybrid cross-platform strategies for creative and innovative distribution. We operate within a flexible, evolving and ever-expanding cross-border network, constantly adapting to new methods of producing and disseminating information. We utilize Copyleft licenses to distribute our work, avoiding the restriction of traditional copyright legislation. By using Creative Commons licenses, we are able to both reserve the creative rights of artists whilst making it easier for people to build upon the work of others, thus allowing projects to be culturally enhanced by a variety of inputs. We aim to motivate people to support the initiatives of members by providing a wider scope for participation. As we believe in the power of the public, we make use of Crowdsourcing involvement and interactive web technology to aggregate support, talent and expertise. Crowdsourcing allows us to reach out to an informed, global audience that performs a vital role in driving projects.

Matchbox Media Collective produces inspiring and informative media by bridging the gap between maker and viewer. We celebrate cultural fusion; giving voice to untold stories and providing power to the storytellers.
