Mathew Murray (born June 4, 1993), credited professionally as M. H. Murray, is a Canadian web series creator, writer and director, known for his work on Teenagers (2014–present).
Murray was born in Toronto and raised in the Port Credit area of Mississauga, Ontario. He attended film school at York University.
In 2013, at the age of 19, Murray wrote, directed and co-created his first web series, Teenagers. Upon release in 2014, the series gained significant popularity on YouTube, attracting media attention because its cast included several Degrassi stars, most notably Chloe Rose and Raymond Ablack. The popular Canadian industry journal Playback published a piece on the series, writing: "the young creators of Teenagers had to have plenty of luck, pluck, talent and grit to get this far. And that portends a Hollywood ending." Murray co-produced the first season alongside Emmanuel Kabongo, who also stars.
Since its release, the series has received positive reviews from blogs and indie publications. For the second season of the series, Orphan Black director T.J. Scott served as executive producer. The first episode premiered on July 26, 2015, and has since been viewed over 3 million times on YouTube. The second season was nominated for various awards, including a Canadian Screen Award and four Indie Series Awards.
In 2016, for his work on Teenagers, Murray won the award for Best Screenplay at the Vancouver Web Series Festival.
