Bio
My name is Matan Berman and I am an award-winning documentary filmmaker and nonfiction storyteller. I love documentaries to my core and my passion comes out whenever I am developing, making, or even talking about one.
I have directed and produced multiple shorts, including THE LAST COBBLER (2024) and NOT IN OUR SCHOOLS (2022). THE LAST COBBLER showed at the 2023 Workers Unite Film Festival, 2023 New Haven Documentary Festival, and the 2024 Buffalo International Film Festival. Additionally, THE LAST COBBLER received an Honorable Mention in the Short Documentary Category at the Workers Unite Film Festival.
In addition to my own directing endeavors, I have been worked as an Associate Producer on the film MEMBER OF THER TRIBE, which is currently in post-production. I have also worked for production companies such as Golden Egg Entertainment and Counterpoint Films in development and archival roles. While consistently working on my own films, I am also ready to serve any need on additional documentary productions.
