From the first viewing of Matt Earl’s work, one thing is immediately clear: he has a precise and intuitive command of rhythm—both visual and sonic. His films are defined by dynamic editing, emotionally grounded performances, and sequences layered with animation and VFX that feel tactile rather than technical. Centered on performance and texture, Matt draws out nuanced, human moments from leading actors, using virtual production and grounded VFX as invisible tools to elevate fashion, deepen narrative, and energize audiences. It’s this multidisciplinary approach that has earned the commercial and music-video director a reputation for crafting visually arresting stories with genuine cultural impact.
Through collaborations with artists such as Doja Cat, A$AP Rocky, and Carlos Santana; talent including Sydney Sweeney, Austin Butler, and Kristen Stewart; and brands like Louis Vuitton, Vogue, and Samsung, Matt has established himself as a director who creates work people truly connect with. His forward-thinking, emotionally resonant films have been recognized with three Webby Awards, including honors for Best Video in Music (2019), Social, Experimental & Innovation (2023), and Metaverse, Immersive & Virtual—Entertainment, Sport & Music (2023).
