Matthew Fone
- Managing Director
- United Kingdom
- Member since 2012
Matthew was born in Coventry when he was aged 0. At the age of 7 he was forced to move at gunpoint to Walsall from where his pronounced middle class accent descended into a heavy rock monotony.
On a motorbike, jumping 10ft high barbed wire fencing , he finally escaped to University in London, attending King’s College where he read Geography. After 3 years he was forced to leave seeking employment but ending up sorting post in the vaults of BT.
His real life began when he got invited into the depths of the late Propaganda Films where he learnt the craft of production, which he still promotes to this day now in the form of a producer.
Matthew’s toils have involved award winning commercial work for clients such as Nike, Adidas, Orange, Olympus, JC Penney, Stella Artois, Diet Coke as well as music videos for the likes of The Streets, LCD Soundsystem, Bat for Lashes, Badly Drawn Boy, Basement Jaxx, Kings of Leon, oh and Madonna.
The highlight was producing the D&AD Black Pencil winning Cadbury’s Gorilla in 2008.
In 2010 Matthew decided to start his own production company Riff Raff Films, with the vision to find new creative talent and build them up the hard way to take on the world. Music Videos are integral to this ; money, ha that may come later.
