Biographie
Matt Conant is a show creator living in Los Angeles, with twenty years experience as a writer and director on comedy, sci-fi, and genre properties for film, TV, and digital. He has been a writer on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Netflix) for three seasons (2017-2022), as well as writing for the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live Tour. Through his production company Cinevore Studios, he has created, written, and directed many digital comedy series, including OverAnalyzers (2011), Nerd vs. Geek (2013), Society: Why It's Wrong (2014), and Moot (2015), and served as a writer and frequent collaborator on other series including The Angry Video Game Nerd, Living in 8 Bits (2012-present), Victorian Cut-out Theatre (2017-2019) and Super Plumber Bros (2016).
Matt co-wrote and directed short comedy series Moot as a part of arts magazine show Articulate with Jim Cotter for WHYY-TV, the PBS-affiliate in Philadelphia. His series "Society: Why It's Wrong" was featured on Upworthy, and endorsed by Grant Imahara of Mythbusters, for its logical deconstruction of the concept of "Fake Geek Girls" in male-dominated arenas. His writing primarily blends comedy, genre and gaming subject matter.
Matt is a co-founder of Project Twenty1, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that runs screenings, events, and career-development programs for emerging filmmakers, including the 21-Day Filmmaking Competition and Philadelphia Film & Animation Festival.
His debut novel trilogy, the sci-fi adventure series Parallax, co-written with Lauren Cipollo and published by Aethon Books, was released in 2024 in paperback, e-book, and audio book. The series became a #1 Amazon Bestseller in Science Fiction on release in 2024 and again in 2025 when the trilogy was released as a bundle.
Matt has been a guest speaker on the subjects of comedy, writing and filmmaking at schools, festivals, and conventions nationwide. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Temple University with a BA in Film & Media Arts. He lives in Los Angeles, CA.
