Matt I won’t lie, your story is way more compelling than Matt and Ryan’s. For your next film I encourage you to tell your story

[mikehellinger]

With all due respect to Matt, who has a great eye for the camera and I really enjoy his YouTube videos....I watched this doc and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the first one. I agree with a lot of the comments on here that Josh and Ryan need to move on and find some new material. Their message is fine, and helped me a lot. But it's all on film, and audio, and print need to stop remaking the same content. Matt, I know you work hard and this isn't shot at your talent....I think it's just time to create something different.

Your filmmaking was the star of this doc. The Minimalists backstory has had it’s run.

I watched the documentary because I like Matt. But I don't feel like I really learned anything about minimalism. I feel like I just watched two dudes try and preach to me about minimalism like it's some kind of religion.

Honestly both documentaries r well made just Josh and Ryan just seem to repeat themselves a lot, the second documentary should have been talking about someone else other than Josh and Ryan just to give a more in depth view from a different perspective. But on the whole the documentaries were well directed and edited, well done!!

That last bit in embracing the possibility & daring to do what you've always dreamt of.... The way I was needing it just now, . Matt big thanks. I'm motivated to actually do & share a short film for the very first time.

"There is no straight line to success" - no truer words said

and this is the lesson we should all take from it!

Keep going Matt! Hope you are safe and well in Oz.

The second documentary is almost verbatim to the first one. Josh and Ryan tell the exact same stories.

[Murk.mp]

"If your story doesn't change, then your not listening"
But Josh and Ryan keep repeating the same backstory lol

[michelleheegaard]

So many of the advice you share and the problems you encountered along the way holds true for so much creative work; don't get so invested in you original idea that you refuse to change it up; get fresh perspectives and feedback on your work; continously revise and go back to see what you can improve, etc.

[joecouture]

Matt comes across as genuine and humble. Unfortunately the Minimalists come across very pretentious and inauthentic.

[geverniveup]

You’re a talented film maker...but you can tell the second one had no real idea or clear direction. I find it amazing that you had three chains of reviews each step of the way (including Netflix) and not one person said why are we repeating ourselves? Actually quite shocking to hear

[estrellasjournal]

*‘if your story doesn’t change, you’re not listening’* that’s a great point

[aashritanatesan]

I would have loved a documentary about your journey with minimalism with actionable steps for getting rid of stuff. I did not enjoy the 60 minute creepy cult session with Josh and Ryan where they said the exact same stuff as the last documentary .

[MisterPol]

Matt is a minimalist for everything except his biceps

[ayaabassi]

Your always inspiring Matt, many if not all of your videos should be taught. Keep it up

[MatthewEncina]

Thanks for sharing BTS in an open and honest way. Definitely opened my eyes on what's possible for my own creative career. Thanks for sharing.

Helpful reminder you should put a bar or time stamp for when your sponsor ad ends because some people might not want to watch it and it is easier when you give us a timestamp or bar at the bottom. You do such incredible work Matt truly, you have inspired me to do so many things to change my lifestyle.

[blurrybloomlisa]

THIS actually helped me a lot! I am currently cutting my first short movie and I feel so frustrated and lost! So thank you for reminding me that it's normal and that I just need to keep on swimming

[comfyera]

Matt thank you so much for making this video! I'm just starting out as a YouTuber and admire your work so much. It was really inspiring and encouraging to hear that you had moments were you failed/were scared/doubted yourself... but you pushed through and made something beautiful in the end! This video helped me to keep going even though I'm still learning so much and stumbling my way through!
