Great Visuals. Greater Vision. The idea for Thirty Story was birthed a while back one day in March at the Foshay tower in downtown Minneapolis.

We wanted to create a video that meshed a fun little day of adventure with our boys and footage from the past couple years of their early childhood. We entered the Foshay Museum and Observation Deck on the thirtieth story of the tower and the rest was history. We had such a great experience that really captured the heart of our creative work… to tell your story… to make the day the story of your l

ife. Honestly, we enjoy our work. Every story matters, and ultimately every booking enables us to sponsor humanitarian and social justice causes close to our heart. In 2016 we were blessed to freely give our time to create videos to raise money for feeding refugees in Greece, fighting human trafficking, and a handful of other meaningful projects. So far in 2017 we've sponsored a music video for a local band, a promo video for a fundraising run, and we have an African water wells project on the horizon. Thanks for believing in us and partnering with us.

For over a decade I've done informal consulting and coaching on tech and social media (and of course, video), mostly for organizations to put them to good use. While I still do that, something changed this last year... I now have 2 middle schoolers.

I'm taking two decades of insight and experience in tech/social media and channeling it into ONLINE COACHING with families in mind through knowcurtains.substack.com.

Right now our Thirty Story crew is producing our first online course on social media. Think of it as driver's training... perfect for teens AND adults, because let's be honest... none of us older peeps got much instruction on this crazy online world.

Module one is "in the can" and we're filming module two next week. Everything will be released first on Substack and access managed by subscriptions in all honesty to help this become a thing.

The first module of the course will be available to annual subscribers ($49/yr), and all four modules will be available to "Behind the Curtains" subscribers ($99/yr)... When you see how much we've poured into it, the cost will seem like a steal. Plus we're producing a ton of other content to help adults, teens, and leaders keep up and more importantly, stay in control.

Thanks everyone! - Matt

Here's a passion project from this fall (Full Video-> https://youtu.be/DUcs8PbJhhw). It came about when I was sitting next to a guy on a plane back to Minnesota who told me about his friend, Jon Richards Salon, who does hair extensions for women overcoming cancer and chemotherapy through Chemo Girls, Hair Extensions After Chemo. Sounded like an amazing story to share. -Matt

Streams of people crossing the border into Poland... Walking into the unknown as incomplete families with nothing more than a suitcase and a couple of backpacks.

What can we do? Give. Pray. Share the need. Looking for partners?

This team is transforming lives by drilling for clean water in rural Tanzania. The only way to the drill site is through a muddy field and they keep moving the rig a few meters at a time.. using logs, digging out the tires... these guys are legit.

We ventured on the wild side with Wilderland Floral the other day. We went winter foraging in 0 degree temps! ⠀

Did you know foraging in the middle of a MN winter was a thing? ⠀

We can't wait to show you what Jamie created with her foraging finds -- stay tuned!

The wrong turns and crossed out lines are the lessons that teach us the most in life -- they make us better.

As we roll into this holiday season we’ve been reflecting on some of the awesome projects we got to wrap this year. This year’s projects took us both near and far and we’re just so grateful for the people we got to work with along the way.

It has been an honor to partner with our clients this year, some new and others who have been with us since the very beginning.

We also want to give a shout-out to our hired talent — even those willing to be paid in donuts... 😊 It has been an honor to meet you and work with you. We appreciate you all!

2019 clients & talent, thanks for making it possible to do what we love!
