Matt DeGroot

VP of Production at Crooked Media/Pod Save America

From studying the intricacies of media and politics during my graduate studies to working to producing and managing video productions in three different continents, my goal is to never stop learning and growing from my experiences.

From my time in Washington, DC to my current home in Los Angeles I have made a career out of conceptualizing, writing, producing, editing, and delivering content that is fun, engaging, interactive, and informational.

With my experience at Home Front Communication, Laureate Education, and BuzzFeed I have learned how to create top-notch content for ANY kind of client whether they have $5 or $5 million. In fact, one of my best skills has turned out to be the management of budgets and finding creative ways to stretch every single dollar so that every product I put my name to comes out looking, sounding, and feeling as great as it can be.

But no matter how great my budgetary, scheduling, and management skills get, I always get that extra jolt of satisfaction by working with a talented team of creative and innovative colleagues who can come together, come up with an amazing concept and then run with it to deliver an outstanding product whether its an educational documentary, web videos, promos, a stunning piece of animation, a thoughtful industrial video, or a full length feature film.

The bottom line is: whether I'm writing scripts, overseeing pre-production, or directing shoots, I'm constantly giving my best for the final product.

I'm here to help make these projects a reality with strong organizational skills, a creative mind that never stops working, and most importantly: an attitude that keeps everyone happy and feeling great about their work.
