You Must Risk Failure to Achieve your Creative Best | Ep13

Tapping Creativity

There are no guarantees that a work of art will be completed and received like you conceived it in your mind. The whole process of creativity sometimes actually needs jumping in, without actually knowing what we're doing or jumping in a way of saying, I didn't have time to lay everything out to make sure that I survive. But I have to go anyway, and do it and take the risk of failure. Welcome to the podcast, tapping creativity with myself, Matthew Temple. And each week, we're going to dive into questions and issues and inspiration around creativity and the creative process.

ABOUT ME
I started my career as an accidental filmmaker. I wrote a “practice script,” hoping one day I could write one that I could sell or produce. That script became my first film, “Senses of Place,” which went on to win awards on the film festival circuit and was distributed by FilmBuff.

I then moved to Hollywood where I eventually made nine feature films, eight documentaries, and worked with actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Melora Hardin , Zac Efron, Edi Gathegi and Angela Sarafyan in this year's Caged, and many more. I've worked with producers Kevin Costner, Bill Borden – Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and Oscar-nominated director Mike Johnson. I have even shared the screen with Josh Brolin, Neil Patrick Harris, Kane Hodder, Naveen Andrews, and many more.

Last year, I released the documentary film, “Hardball: The Girls of Summer.” Currently, I live between California and East Africa, writing and developing new projects, while consulting on film and TV projects.
