Analysis

“I attended I Wanna Be A Producer a few weeks prior to launching my debut Adelaide Fringe show. Through a systematic yet creative process, Matthew helped me gain clarity on my show’s concept, target audience and industry pathways. Honestly, I wish that I could have completed this workshop before registering and developing my Adelaide Fringe show as it would have cleared a lot of uncertainty and saved a lot of time. If you are an emerging artist or producer, do yourself a favour as Matthew is not only experienced in the art of producing, but he is also passionate about sharing how to do it!”
