Matan Portnoy

Filmmaker, director, and screenwriter with 15 years of experience in film, commercials, and music videos. My short film Entropy won 10 awards and was officially selected for over 30 international film festivals worldwide. I’m currently in post-production on my debut feature film When Clouds Fall—an Israeli–Nepali co-production shot in the Himalayas, which I co-wrote and directed with Kehat Finkel. Alongside my film work, I’ve directed campaigns and branded content for leading clients including Riskified, VIA, YPO, the Israel Securities Authority, and Kan 11, as well as social-impact organizations such as Atidim and the Schusterman Foundation. I also co-wrote and directed the music video Nothing To Worry About (performed by Nadav Guedj), which has reached over 7.5M views on YouTube. I bring a strong, distinctive cinematic language into every project—combining emotional depth, visual precision, and a touch of humor. With proven project management and leadership skills, I thrive in guiding complex productions and working closely with actors and crews. My collaborative approach and interpersonal abilities foster trust and creativity on set. Above all, I pour my heart into every project, striving to tell stories that dive deep into the human experience and to visualize the things that are otherwise impossible to put into words.
