Hello! My name is Matt Adams. I'm a native New Yorker and I love to make videos. I started as a producer with the NYC-based prank collective, Improv Everywhere. Videos that I produced have been viewed over 250 million times. As the head of video production, I helped build our YouTube fan base from just over 50,000 to more than 1.2 million subscribers.
While I was producing videos for Improv Everywhere, I saw a larger opportunity outside of what we were doing on YouTube and raised over $125,000 to direct a film about the group which premiered at SXSW. After a successful festival run, the film was licensed by Netflix and can currently be accessed across most major digital platforms.
When the film was finished, I worked as a video journalist in Syracuse, New York and it was there that I met my wife, a native of Austria. Flash forward to three years later, we now live in Austria, I'm learning German, working as a multimedia producer at the Graz University of Technology. I'm also a writer, long distance runner, an acoustic guitarist and I love to be creative both in front of and behind the camera.
In addition to video projects, I maintain a blog called, "Ruby Tuesday." My mother, Ruby turned 80 this year and suffers from memory issues and every Tuesday, I post a unique memory about her life. The blog provides a place for friends and family to connect, reminisce and share how she has impacted their lives. A story about my mom was recently feature the popular website, Humans of New York and can be read here.
If you have any questions or just want to say hello, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
