Snapper Films team “At Snapper we believe that breaking boundaries is essential for creativity to thrive, so we were thrilled when Matthias approached us about joining our roster. We are all inspired and excited by his extensive variety of work. He has an intriguing & unexpected, yet accomplished and distinctive style, with a remarkable ability to walk such a delicate line with tone, his work is full of human insights with a lightness of touch. The craft is wonderful, but the bravery is captivating.”
Hoene adds: “Sometimes in life, you immediately know when you meet a kindred spirit. When I met Helen in Kinsale I knew we were speaking the same language and had the same ambition: to create work that is both edgy and human, to foster personal relationships with agencies and clients that go deeper than just the current job, and to do what we all got into the industry for: Create work that changes minds, captures the zeitgeist, inspires people and makes you wonder how you got away with another beautiful, leftfield, and thought-provoking piece work. The whole Snapper team is driven to create work that resonates on a deeper level and breaks new ground, and I am proud and excited to join their roster.”
