MMM: Making Movies with Mattia

Ciao People,

In this episode, I introduce Andrea, an established actress who works for Italian, Hungarian, German and American productions.

With more than 20 years of experience as an Actress, she describes the differences between working in a European to an American film.

She tells the difficulty that actors face, in a competitive and stressful industry that pushes newcomers into desperate situations like being criticized or being cut from scenes. 

Now she's also working as a Coach, where she hosts programs to help Actors succeed in entertainment through conscious choices, motivations and managing their resources effectively.

Thank you and enjoy!

Ciao People,

In this Stand-Alone Talk, I speak about working as a Freelance (or Self-Employed, a person working for different companies rather than a single one).

Based on my personal experiences, I describe both the pros and cons of working for many people and for myself, which despite it can be confusing and unexpected, it is also very satisfying and helped me built a lot of confidence.

It’s all about making the right decisions, so this episode is also made to let you know how to be good freelance and not doing the same mistakes I made.

Thank you and enjoy!

In this episode, I have the pleasure to talk with Taichi, a Filmmaker from Japan who lives and works in London.

Director (both in Japan and UK) for commercials, music videos and documentaries mostly focused on sport and the music industry, he talks about his first featured film as well as his next project.

He tells us the differences between a Japanese to a British or American production with their pros and cons.

With great advice he gives on how to be a good director, he also mentions which director and film inspire him.

Thank you and enjoy!
