Unencumbered is a documentary film and video production company specializing in personal stories that have an impact. We approach projects with care, curiosity, and the belief that the most powerful storytelling happens when we’re present, open, and—yes—unencumbered.

Founded by award-winning producer, director, and storyteller Matthew Slutsky, Unencumbered was born out of Matthew’s career in American politics, issue advocacy, and technology, including his role as a founding team member at the social impact platform Change.org.
Unencumbered has a trusted network of collaborators - producers, editors, cinematographers, and designers— that we bring together based on the unique needs of each project.
