Working with Mateen has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. I was looking for a creative videographer who could bring my book promo video idea to life when I came across his profile on Instagram. From the first email exchange to shooting the footage and final editing, Mateen exhibited absolute professionalism and a positive attitude. He came up with creative ideas and shared my excitement of this project. Overall, I can only recommend Mateen not only for his amazing talent but for his great personality and being a wonderful person. He really went above and beyond and I look forward to working with him again. P.S. A major shoutout to his wife who is an absolute sweetheart and was so kind to capture great behind the scenes photos for social media. You make a fantastic team!

For my project, I knew that film would be the best way to convey my message. I had quite a specific idea of what I wanted the end result to look like and shared that with Mateen, from The Curious Society. He was open and engaged in my ideas and spent a lot of time beforehand, asking insightful questions about my vision. I could tell he was invested in my project and was flexible and available to discuss details. When I saw the final product, I was amazed - it went beyond my expectations. They go beyond simply filming and editing - The Curious Society tells stories. Mateen took my vision and created a piece of artwork with it, keeping its soul fully intact, but elevated it in ways I did not think possible. The film was really well received and generated more views than targeted. Mateen is a thoughtful and skilled filmmaker and I will be recommending his services to my network.

I needed some materials to showcase my business (myofiber.ca) and video made sense. Mateen was great in his approach. We developed a thorough plan to approach my needs first. When working with me, I noticed that Mateen was very creative in his approach and provided feedback in the most detailed of ways. For starters, he was thorough in the rationale with each shot; came up with various scripts and also dove deep into the business side of things. It's almost as if he puts himself in your shoes as a business owner to determine what works best for you. I would gladly recommend Mateen at the Curious Society for ALL your videography needs. If you're a small business owner that needs to get out there, this is the right place to be. Mateen always overdelivers and puts his heart and soul into his work.

The experience was terrific! My wife and I really enjoyed how natural the whole shoot felt, and we were able to be comfortable and be ourselves on camera, which was reflected in the awesome video and photographs! We had shown the video to many people, all of whom loved it. We ourselves watched it over 10 times the day we got it. We were (are) hooked! A very smooth experience from start to finish, including timely delivery of all materials.

as someone who's not a fan of the back and forth process when hiring a service of any kind, working with Mateen is a simple & easy, and it always leads to results way out of any expectations I may have had before starting a new project. he's fun to work with, doesn't ask for any fancy props or set ups, knows exactly what hes doing, & specifically caters his work to suit my artistic style, which is probably why his work ethic is so clean, original & comes from a genuinely place. Mateen is my go to film guy bc he understands my personal idea of a video and my vision for one before hitting the record button & is eager to do the best job he can on everything he does. I highly recommend him to anyone & everyone looking to get a little piece of their life recorded for years to come. you wont be disappointed.
