Instructor Bio

SUBSTANCE OVER CONTENT
Content is forgettable. How can we create something that pushes culture? This question is my life's pursuit.
My names Matt Livadary. I'm a Los Angeles native, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and Creative Director and love any medium where emotional storytelling reins.
Iwent to USCfilm school and worked in Hollywood for several years -- including Creative Artists Agency and Apparatus Productions. After my documentary QUEENS & COWBOYS: A STRAIGHT YEAR ON THE GAY RODEO earned international accolades and a Netflix distribution deal in 2014, I moved into digital storytelling and helped build one of the pre-eminent digital documentary divisions on the web.
At Uproxx, I helped build and oversee Uproxx's creative studio from the ground-up - creating stories for some of the largest brands in the world (Intel, Honda, Sony and more). During my tenure, Ioversaw hundreds of documentaries, personally directing our flagship programs to reach Uproxx's 50M unique monthly audience. The work Ihelped create earned every major digital distinction from Cannes Lions, Gold Clios, OMMA, Digiday, Webbie, One Song and even Emmy nominations.
In 2018, I founded Arroyo Parkway, a one-stop shop that helps brands reach audiences through heartfelt stories. Under this umbrella, I've created award-winning podcasts, and am grateful to have worked with clients like the NFL, Honda, Uber and more.
I live for telling stories with heart & empathy to unify audiences. Ioriginally developed this program to train my staff how to communicate effective stories quickly and I now teach it to many others, including at Pepperdine every semester and believe better storytelling leads to more success in life. I have a knack for finding the heart at the center of stories in many mediums and approach every project with a wealth of first-hand experience from all aspects of production and distribution.
Thank you for your interest!
