Founder, Cinematographer, Commercial Campaign Specialist 

Media & Entertainment

Matt Hardy grew up in the outdoor mecca of Lake Tahoe, California.
He has been immersed in the outdoors ever since, inspiring
a life dedicated to the exploration of the world's most unique
places. Over the years he has become known for his tremendous
sense of adventure, creativity & drive. His desire to inspire others
through amazing imagery has taken him around the globe and won
numerous awards.
Infused in all aspects of production as a director, cinematographer,
and editor, he brings a unique and critical cinematic perspective to
action sports, documentary, travel, and commercial pursuits. With
a background in finance and marketing, he understands the many
different perspectives an organization may have and can ultimately
help a clients' vision become reality. After many years, Matt realized
that many of his clients lacked effective distribution strategies with
the videos he was producing and that the videos would end up
sitting on social media or the client website and not generate any
leads, sales, or results. He now specializes in helping experiential
brands (tour operators + expedition companies) and e-commerce
companies predictably maximize their bookings by implementing &
running profitable Commercial Campaigns.
