MAT HUMPHREY LEADS THE GUILD'S EXPANSION INTO SYDNEY


Melbourne-based TVC production company The Guild is joining forces with former Filmgraphics director Mat Humphrey in building a stronger Sydney presence.
Humphrey will be Managing Partner and Chief Vision Officer and very much the creative force behind the Sydney based enterprise.
Says Humphrey: "The time is right for me to do my own thing. I have admired the Guild’s fresh new ‘co-op’ approach to the production company model and want to franchise the brand here in Sydney.
"The old days of the huge production company with massive overheads are gone. My philosophy is simple: put the money on the screen. I want to be able to look at all projects big or small, both here and overseas. I have always enjoyed working closely with creatives and now I am free to do this even more. We are all really excited about the future and so are my clients."
To see Humphrey's latest reel call the Guild on:

Nice move for The Guild. Rodd Martin has moved to the Sydney office too so they're building a nice roster there.

"the old days of the huge production company with massive overheads are gone. My philosophy is simple:"

translates as.............

"I want more of the money in my back pocket thank you very much"

what a twat.

"I have always enjoyed working closely with creatives and now I am free to do this even more"
What the fuck has he been doing for the last however-many-years? Ignoring us as soon as he has been awarded the job? What has freed him up to spend more time with creatives? The fact that he can't rely on a solid and respected company to attract work for him, and now he needs to pay for his own overheads.

"the Guild's fresh new co-op approach..." Jesus H Christ, It's another bloody production company making ads and content. whoopdi-fuckin-doo.

Someone tell him to shut the fuck up or as Chief Vision Officer get some one else to write his PR
