Creative Collaboration: a lesson from Christofer Nolan
from Keep the Flow
Grab my new eBook, Necessarily Creative: https://book.scottmclemore.comSometimes we can forget that the work we do is important. We can also get so fixated on our original ideas that we try to force things to conform to that vision instead of allowing outside forces to naturally shape the work, whether that’s through unforeseen circumstances or our collaborators. This week on Keep the Flow, I reflect on an interview I heard with actor Gary Oldman. He talked about working with director Christofer Nolan and how the brevity he used in his minimalist direction inspired great performances. Keep the Flow is a weekly podcast hosted by Scott McLemore that looks under the hood of the creative process to keep our creative engines humming.You might like my newsletter called The Interval which is a weekly run-down of inspiration and updates.Join here: https://subscribe.scottmclemore.comIf you'd like to get early access to podcast episodes as well as bonus material (like a free download of my eBook)...become one of my Patreon peeps: https://patreon.com/scottmclemore😎 ABOUT ME:Hi.
