I'm a Senior Video Producer and Director based in the Bay Area, with 15 years running an independent production practice across brand film, documentary, campaign, and live arts.
I work end-to-end: concept development, directing on set, editorial, color, and audio. Clients come to me when they need one person who can hold the whole thing together, from the first creative conversation through final delivery, without losing quality at any handoff.
My clients have included Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Unilever, and Coursera, alongside leading arts organizations including Berkeley Rep, SF Opera, and A.C.T.


"Adam is exceptional. His ability to edit together a sharp, bracing and exciting video that captures the goals of the company, artists and collaborators is at the top of his field. I cannot recommend him highly enough and believe anyone would be lucky to employ his services and talents for your personal film project or organizational needs."
Carey Perloff
Artistic Director Emerita of the American Conservatory Theater
"Adam Montanaro is a remarkable and dedicated video producer who is able to work in a wide variety of settings with speed, finesse, grace and wisdom. He puts his subjects at ease immediately and finds creative ways to capture events no matter how challenging the circumstances. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
