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 all major digital platforms.
When the film was finished, I worked as a video journalist at Syracuse.com 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, and am currently working as a multimedia producer at the University of Graz. I'm also a long distance runner, acoustic guitarist and love to be creative both in front of and behind the camera.
