Meet Team Gorilla.
We are writers, producers, filmmakers, artists, friends, parents, pet lovers, coffee drinkers, and professional storytellers.
Matt Townley
Partner
Having worked his way through a wide range of roles in media, Matt has a unique ability to connect the highly technical, creative, and business aspects of production. An entrepreneur at heart, Matt founded his first company before he could drive and has never looked back. Matt holds a B.S. in Information Technology and Visual Communication. He and his wife have two spirited sons and two scrambled egg loving dogs. He spends his free time BBQing for friends and family, skiing, and exploring new places in search of delicious food, locally made beer and wine, and exploring beaches (even in the winter).
Eric Stracke
Partner
Eric is a content creative by day, and referees a wild pack of children by night. He holds a B.S. in Digital Film and Video Production from the Art Institute of California, San Francisco, and has continued to work in the video production industry ever since. He finds great satisfaction in the creative process of producing a video from concept to completion. His free time is filled with his two three four children and trying to convince them not to hurt themselves or each other. He enjoys sharing his hobbies with his family, including playing the ukulele, skiing, wakeboarding, and camping.
