Lead By
Doug Henderson
Co-Founder | EXECUTIVE | Director
Over the past 11 years, Doug has accumulated credits in over 50 film and television projects and won several awards for his directing. He has extensive experience working as a producer, director, screenwriter, editor, and actor. Everything’s Fire is the culmination of this experience. Doug’s purpose as a filmmaker is to produce films that display empathy and compassion for the audience. Their perspectives, struggles, and suffering inform his films and give them meaning. It is Doug’s belief that this audience-ascribed meaning is ultimately what leads to the financial success, or lack thereof, of any film.
From Doug’s perspective, business and art are one and the same. Art is the process of creation, and business is the process of capitalizing on creation. He recognizes that every attempt to separate the two in any business or artistic endeavor inevitably leads to failure.
Matt Nease
CO-Founder | Executive | Cinematographer
Since his entry into the industry, Matt has captured a number of award-winning films and holds international awards for his cinematography. Additionally, he has experience as a producer, editor, writer, and business owner. Matt believes that the visual approach of a film is crucial to its success. It enhances the viewing experience and more easily allows an audience to enter the world of the story. He is driven to create cinematic images that rival those of Hollywood, but on budgets that help position a film for financial success.
Doing a lot with only a little is the foundation of Matt’s career and what brought him to where he is today, both as a cinematographer and producer. He is adaptable and quick on his feet, with a knack for creative problem solving.
The economic value of the arts and cultural production in the United States contributes more than twice the amount generated by mining (including oil and gas extraction). The motion picture industry adds more to the US economy than the total value added by automobile manufacturing.”
– U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
“When a movie or television shoots films on location, it brings with it jobs, revenue, and related infrastructure development, providing an immediate boost to the local economy. The industry pays out $49 billion per year to more than 400,000 businesses—87 percent of which are small businesses—in cities and small towns across the country. As much as $250,000 can be injected into local economies per day when a film shoots on location. In some cases, popular films and television shows can also boost tourism.”
