Unleashing Creativity with Nanou Matteson: From Writing Retreats to Film Production
Nanou Matteson takes us on a journey through her evolution from literature and film student to becoming a writing coach, script writer and film producer extraordinaire.
Her unique approach has carved out spaces where creativity blooms, be it through her one-on-one coaching, her own script development and collaborations, or the bucolic charm of her writers' retreats that inspire attendees to push past their creative blocks and reach new levels of storytelling prowess.
Nanou delves into the heart of coaching writers and her techniques that inspire them across genres, and she shares how her embrace of virtual coaching has allowed her to connect with an even wider circle of creatives. Whether her clients are penning the next great American novel or scripting a gripping screenplay, her insights are the guiding star for navigating personal expression and technical finesse.
Switching gears, we're given a front-row seat to the behind-the-scenes magic of film and film production. Nanou discusses her hands-on experiences, from the emotional resonance in cinematic storytelling to the practical challenges she faces on set. The conversation wraps with a nod to human creativity amidst the advent of AI in filmmaking, the joys of showing a film to an actual live audience, and the importance of all-in collaboration that turn a script into an on-screen reality.

Talking with Laura Paladini and Lupe Muller about the gallery show "Seen"
In this episode, I’m talking with the artists Laura Paladini and Lupe Muller. Laura’s solo exhibition "Seen" will be shown starting January 12, 2024 at the Alma Rise Gallery, which Lupe opened in 2023.
‘Seen‘ takes viewers on an artistic journey that will transform their understanding of figurative abstract. Laura Paladini skillfully guides you through a journey, seamlessly transitioning from the abstract to the figurative, from the realm of invisibility to unapologetic defiance. In doing so, she amplifies the voices of those who are often unheard.
Alma Rise Gallery is a nonprofit arts project dedicated to the advancement of women in contemporary arts.
The exhibit will be up from Friday, January 12, 2024, 5:00 PM - Friday, February 9, 2024, 5:00pm at the Alma Rise Gallery, 1600 Shattuck Ave Suite 126, Berkeley, CA
