About Me

Matchstick Productions is the leader in action sport filmmaking. With many awards to their credit, the team at MSP continues to work with the best athletes in the world to capture amazing action sports cinematography. Their ultra progressive camera techniques, editing, and production value has earned them many “Movie of the Year” titles, in addition to "best cinematography ," “best editing” and other prestigious awards.Along with innovative photography, Matchstick Productions also specializes in filming in exotic, extreme, and remote locations. MSP camera crews have traveled the globe managing to get cameras into locations that other film crews would never go.In 1990, Steve Winter set out on a journey with a few friends that would lead to a short 15-minute film. From there, long time friend and now co-owner, Murray Wais, came aboard to help grow the company to what it is now: a multi-facetted production company. Matchstick Productions, while known best for ski action, has progressed into shooting and producing a high-definition TV series, ski movie, mountain bike film, commercials, corporate videos, and is one of the leading production companies providing stock footage for commercials worldwide.The company now continues to produce, shoot, direct, and consult out of their Colorado headquarters. The company has grown with over ten employees and hosts a worldwide film tour that excites millions across the globe with mind-blowing action sport filmmaking.Why Matchstick? We liked the name Matchstick Productions because we felt that the potential energy of a match waiting to burn symbolized the collective power of Matchstick and the energy that Matchstick shares through impassioned, powerful, and meaningful production work.
