Adam Mutchler’s art education started with live action shorts and claymation as a kid, theater in high school and Film Studies at Yale University. It continued via indie and studio sets alongside Oscar and Emmy award winning filmmakers. He continued to learn the business of art at Paradigm (agency), Universal (studio), Blizzard (games), Zoic (vfx) and the 5D Institute (experimental design).

As an independent producer and director, Adam has created new media content accumulating over 50 Million views, and produced award winning shorts and features. His micro-budget feature, Ghost Team One, premiered at the Slamdance film festival and was bought and distributed by Paramount.

As head of Operations and Content at Bang Digital Media, Adam took the startup public, to a valuation of $40 Million, and built its reach to over 5 Million followers with over a billion impressions by delivering provocative content spanning politics, activism and comedy.

Adam continued to flex his conceptual muscles by co-creating/co-founding The International Church of Cannabis; a stunning art space, spiritual institution and event space that upends the conventions of religion with radical inclusiveness, a disdain for ideological dogma, and a self aware playfulness.

He additionally brought an eye for operations, scalability and longevity by creating a sustainable funding mechanism through The Beyond Light Experience. He was the creative and technical lead of a small team that created the 360 degree projection mapped light and sound experience. It has become a top tourist destination in Denver and its revenue currently ensures the Church’s mission to create a home for seekers, thinkers and tricksters to engage with culture, art and spirituality in new interesting ways.

Adam’s immersive lab and gallery space Matchbox Giant Immersive in Hollywood aims to connect the disparate art and technology communities across AI, VFX, XR, Lighting Design, Installation Art, Video Art, Gaming, and Web3.
