Hi Story Hunters, My name is Matteo Ghidoni, I am a video journalist and video maker based in Los Angeles. I create video news, short documentaries and interviews on a daily basis, for several outlets such as the Italian National TV RAI, the international Chinese tv CGTN, the NY Post and more. In the last seven years, from Los Angeles and the USA, I created videos for Voice of America, Fox, Sky, Yahoo, the Italian biggest press agencies ANSA, Kika Press and more. Before living and working as videomaker between Los Angeles and Milan, I’ve lived and worked in Amsterdam, Rome and for a while in Ghana. I love my job and I am always glad to get in touch with great professionals. We could have a fluent conversation in English, Spanish or Italian, my mother tongue. I’ve been working in televisions, radios and newspapers since when I finished my Master in media communication, in 2008. I can create video news on my own: starting from the idea to the final product and also work in a team of reporters. I have been working in some independent documentary and I learned a lot from those experiences, I am willing to bring it to the next level. I can work both in front and behind the camera or as a producer/coordinator. I know different kinds of editing programs and cameras My Multicultural background makes it easy for me to adapt in new contexts. Writing, producing and filming videos is my way to express my creativity. In my free time, I love to learn improv theater. Get in touch with me, I'm sure we have a lot of things in common, especially the passion for videos Ciao, Matteo

Journalist, documentarian, digital archivist. I've worked for Reuters and Agence France Presse as a video news journalist as well as with Fatherly, AJ+ and Simple Most for social media video. I've filmed and covered breaking news in more than six countries (India, Kosovo, Panama, Mexico, Japan and the USA) and produced 100s of news pieces. I've interviewed A-list Hollywood celebrities, Indian breakdancers and Japanese anti-nuclear protesters but the interview I'd most like to do is with my mother when she was my age (if I had a time machine!) My speciality is producing or video editing for news but I sometimes work on commercial projects or television programs as creative director or production manager. My personal interests include boxing, cooking gluten free dishes and digital archive management. I love to collaborate and I believe firmly in 100% risk, 100% reward.

I've spent the last 8 years scripting, shooting, and editing content for social media (both organic and paid). In that time, my work has received more than 100 million impressions across social media platforms and supported multiple 7 figures of ad spend for a number of well-recognized brands, including Mr. Beast, The NFL, Salvation Army, The NBA, The Hoop Bus, Aubrey Marcus, Breathwrk, Nicole Arbor, and TopCourt. Luckily, this wide range of clientele has given me a clear sense of how to envision and produce thumb-stopping content for use on TikTok and Instagram - videos that capture attention and don't lose that attention quickly. A blend of sound choice, text overlays, and the right shot selection is the key to my secret sauce. (My tool of choice is the Adobe Creative Suite - Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop.)I'm pretty plug & play - depending on the structure & distribution of your current team. I can hit the ground running and start producing content pretty quickly. I would love to chat more!
