Matt Roe has been named head of unscripted for production company Dirty Robber, The Unreasnble, led by Travon Free, Martin Desmond Roe, and Mickey Meyer.
Roe is an Emmy-nominated producer, director, and writer with more than ten years of development and production experience making unscripted premium content.
Starting his career as a story producer, Roe helped shape such projects Kobe Bryant’s Muse for Showtime, The Last Walk Off with David Ortiz for ESPN, and Tom vs. Tom for Facebook.
As a director, he has made content for companies like Religion of Sports and Uninterrupted. As a showrunner, he has helmed the Audience Network’s anthology series Religion of Sports and ESPN Why We Fight.
In addition to his creative credits, Roe has spent the last few years leading development at Dirty Robber during a time when it landed projects such as Heist and We Are The Champions for Netflix, BS High for HBO, and commercial work for brands like Nike and agencies such as Droga5.
A joint statement was issued by Free, Desmond Roe and Meyer: “In an era where everyone has a camera, premium storytellers stand out. Matt is one of the best storytellers we’ve ever encountered and an amazing person. Trusting him with the Dirty Robber name and the standard that it stands for was a no-brainer. We’re so excited to see what the future holds for Dirty Robber.”
“What’s most exciting about taking a leadership role with Dirty Robber is the incredible roster of talent that makes up our company,” Roe said. “Our reputation as an award-winning studio is made possible by the brilliant storytellers for whom Dirty Robber is a home. As we map out the next stage of our company as a collective, we’ll continue making the premium content that is the bedrock of who we are while we actively look for new partners, new formats, and new ways of telling stories.”
