Today my guest Matti and I will be talking all about how to create opportunities to up level your projects. This allows you to not only become an even more skilled and diverse professional but will also train you to see the value in everything you do.

Matti McLean is a creative artist and writer living in Toronto, Ontario. He has a background in producing, script editing and writing for a wide range of films, shows, theatrical events and podcasts and worked on several shows including Locke and Key, The Handmaid's Tale and The Boys. His most recent novel THE CYPHER has served as the Inspiration for his ongoing narrative podcast “The Cypher and Avaria Beyond”.

Remember: Your very first drafts might be really rough. Don’t let that discourage you from continuing. You have to start with something to create an amazing end product. Just stay committed to the process and your project will only get better and better.
Research: Before taking on a project, explore how you can leverage it to serve your other projects. This is a way to filter and prioritize your creative endeavors and allow for each initiative to make the others even better as opposed to creating a web of distractions.
Challenge: Take inventory on every project you’re currently working on, then connect the dots on how you can create an opportunity to make the projects even better. For example, while you’re working on your screenplay, create a collection of art such as a series of paintings that is inspired by the characters within the screenplay. This adds so much more value to both the screenplay and the art and will attract an even bigger and more dialed in fanbase.
