Executive Producer Matthew Clyde Is Moving to Head Up Riff Raff US
Riff Raff Films are thrilled to announce that executive producer Matthew Clyde is moving to head up Riff Raff US, based out of their LA office. Matthew will be managing a range of directors from the Main and Nursery of Evil Rosters, amplifying the transatlantic reach of Riff Raff to new heights.
Starting in the industry in 1996, as a 1st assistant director Matthew has spent over 15 years working with a wealth of UK and International directing talent in TV Commercials and Live Broadcast Performance. His past work has covered projects with esteemed performers such as Michael Jackson, ACDC, Beyonce, Madonna, Tina Turner, Coldplay, Foo Fighters & Eminem. Matthew turned to producing in 2012 and has helmed several award-winning TV commercials and print campaigns across multiple UK production companies from pre
production through to post and delivery.
Matthew Clyde said, “I've been privileged to have been part of the UK Riff Raff team and now can't wait to spearhead the next chapter of Riff Raff USA. Our presence in the US market has always been consistent with the creative standards we hold in the UK, 2023 brought strong offerings with The Sacred Egg's Smirnoff Campaign and Max Siedentop’s Emmy-Winning Nickelodeon spots to name but a few. We look forward to a positive year for the industry in '24 and the opportunity to build further in the US, doing what we do best in nurturing talent and collaborating with good people.”
Matthew Fone, Riff Raff’s owner said, “Riff Raff has had a company in the US for the last 3 years where we have been building a strong representation but now it is time to put someone in place to build the business with more local talent on top of Riff Raff’s strong director base.
That person is Matt Clyde.
Matt has EP’d in the UK for the last two years and is someone who knows the DNA of Riff Raff and the directors we have. I couldn’t think of anyone better to partner with as we both take a more proactive role in working in the US”.
