Every request is made especially for you and is 100% yours.

Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time designer?
Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level designer now exceeds $100,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for time you aren't able to utilize.

With the monthly plan, you can pause and resume your membership as often as you need to ensure you're only paying your designer when you have work available for them.

Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?
Once you begin your membership, you're able to add as many requests to your queue as you'd like, and they will be delivered one by one.

How fast will I receive my requests?
On average, most requests are completed in three days. However, more complex requests can take longer. For example: website page designs, casting, or production planning.

Who are the team members?
You might be surprised to hear this, but I'm actually an agency of one. This means you'll work directly with me, Matt Cici. I'm an award-winning filmmaker and industry advisor with over 15 years of experience. I'm also a Top 20 Wix Designer and certified Educator for Wix — teaching their workshops, courses, and classes to 250M+ users.

However, requests such as graphic design, animations, custom illustrations, SEO services, and custom code may be provided by partner designers and developers.

What tools do you use?
Most requests are completed by using tools and platforms best suited to your specific film project. I support various filmmaking platforms and tools. For your website, I support these other website builders: Wix, Wix Studio, Square Online, and Squarespace; and these community platforms: Circle.so and Heartbeat. Please book a call or leave a video / voice message here to ask about other tools or platforms.

How do I make a request?
I offer a ton of flexibility in how you request work via my project management tool, Basecamp. Some common ways members request work is directly via Basecamp, sharing Google Docs or wireframes, or even recording a brief Loom video (for those who prefer not to write their briefs out). Basically, if it can be linked to or shared in Basecamp, it's fair game.

What do you mean by asynchronous?
This service is entirely asynchronous, meaning there are no meetings, video, or phone calls. Communicating asynchronously allows us both to: work at times that fit best in our schedule; keep our thoughts, tasks, and updates organized; and document the entire process. If you do not feel you will work well this way, please don't purchase this service.

What if I don't like the work?
No worries! I'll continue to revise the work until you're 100% satisfied.

What if I only have a single request?
That's fine. Join the Joy Day and/or sign up for a full Joy. You can pause your membership when finished and return when you have additional needs. There's no need to let the remainder of your membership go to waste.

Can you build me a website for my film, production company, or personal brand?
Absolutely! With Joy, you're invited to experience my unique "Wix in Six" process, a comprehensive path to creating your full website from the ground up. As a member, you'll be engaged in a minimum of two months (or two billing cycles), ensuring a tailored, high-quality website build that fits your vision perfectly. Dive into the details at Wix in Six. and start your journey toward a hassle-free, professional online presence.

Can you help me plan my film from scratch?
Absolutely! With Joy, I'm here to guide you through every step of the filmmaking process, from developing your initial concept to preparing for a successful film festival run or release. Whether you're in the early stages of planning or looking for support in production, marketing, or distribution, I'll work with you to create a customized plan that aligns with your vision and goals. My experience in the industry allows me to provide tailored advice, resources, and support, ensuring that your film project is set up for success.

What are power ups?
Power-ups are services that are not included in the Joy or Joy Plus plan. Members often benefit from various power-ups such as multiple requests at-a-time, design, or custom-coded projects. These will be available in your Basecamp. Power-ups require a Joy or Joy Plus membership, and are not available on their own.

Do you cover my business expenses?
No. These are your responsibility. These are your responsibility. While I do offer discounts on certain software, apps, and tools to help you run your film production, you are responsible for all of your own film expenses. This includes festival submission fees, production costs, and marketing expenses.

Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?
Due to the high quality nature of the work, there will be no refunds issued. Please book a call or leave a video / voice message here to ensure this is a good fit for you. By signing up, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and accept the Terms found here.

If you violate the terms your membership will be cancelled and you will NOT be able to re-join again. I take commitments really seriously. By signing up, I'm devoting time and resources to you. I hope you’ll do the same for me.
