Our Story

Felipe Zamora and Matt Finley are filmmakers, storytellers, and legacy-builders.

With over 30 feature films and television shows between them — and a portfolio that includes award-winning documentaries — Felipe and Matt bring a combined passion for cinematic excellence and purpose-driven storytelling.

Their work has taken them from major studio sets to intimate, personal stories that require something far deeper than technical skill: the ability to listen, understand, and translate a life into something timeless.

They founded Beacon Stories with a singular purpose — to serve families whose stories carry generational weight. Families who understand the value of legacy, and want it told with artistry, depth, and honor.

They don’t just direct films — they guide a process that turns heritage into history, and memory into meaning


The Beacon Stories Difference

  • Professional camera setup with lens, monitor, and ring light on a wooden table.

    Cinematic-Quality Equipment

    We use the same professional-grade equipment trusted by platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and other major digital distributors. Our productions are filmed using RED camera technology—renowned for its image quality, dynamic range, and cinematic feel. From lighting to audio capture, our gear is top-tier, ensuring your family’s story is told with the highest visual and technical standards.

  • A person sitting at a desk with three monitors, editing video. A large screen above shows a scene with a monument and sunset. Speakers and a microphone are on the desk.

    Professional Post-Production Studio

    Located in Monument, Colorado, our full-service post-production studio is designed for high-end editing, color grading, and sound mixing. This is the same facility we’ve used to help finish over 10 feature films, and we bring that same level of excellence to every Beacon Stories project. Your legacy film is shaped with precision and care at every step of the process.
