A deep look inside the life and journey of this Texas Filmmaker makes the 10th episode of #LoudAndClear a special one. Thaddeus D. Matula, a Dallas born and raised self-made director that brought to us the Peabody Award-winning film Pony Excess, a film about the NCAA-mandated "death penalty" on the SMU football program, is on the mic sharing with us how he made it happen. When the film debuted on ESPN in December of 2010, after the Heisman Trophy presentation, it landed as the highest rated documentary premiere in the network's history and Texas Monthly named it one of the ten best films about Texas.
As the advertising and marketing industry seeks to build stronger connections with consumers by finding and creating genuine content told by true storytellers, Thaddeus highlights the opportunity to create and to connect in today's diversified content consumption spectrum from both a distribution and consumption perspective. He unapologetically opens up to the hosts of #LoudAndClear, Emily Puig and Alvaro Polanco, explaining with detail how you get great work done as well as the dark places you sometimes have to cross to get there including funding and connecting dreamers to believers. This podcast truly conveys the creative process many content creators go through in the sometimes dark and lonely journey to making great work see the light.
Feel inspired by Thaddeus' love for the work, life and embracing your true self.
The Ultimate Dreamer is co-hosted by Emily Puig and Alvaro Polanco and produced by Joel Villarini and Francisco Cardenas
