Ep 609: Matthew Scott Kane


Listen Later

PUBLIC VERSION. Writer and show runner Matthew Scott Kane (HYSTERIA!) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope Studio to discuss his career journey. From seeing JURASSIC PARK at a Michigan drive-in and falling in love with filmmaking at age 3… to making his first short film with friends and winning the first film festival he entered (only to find out afterwords that there was only one other submission!)… to the famous critic that recommended he try his hand at writing for television… to making the move to Los Angeles and the many assistant jobs he worked at as he honed his craft… to selling his pilot for HYSTERIA! to a major outlet only to have them back out of making it when the pandemic hit… to being down to his last cent with no agent and no hope in sight before getting a surprising phone call that changed everything for him… to his anxiety filled ZOOM pitch with over 80 people on the call… to the process of staffing up his writers’ room on his first series… to the writer’s strike hitting right as HYSTERIA! was finishing up shooting its first episode and having no choice but to stay on the sidelines until the strike had played out… Matthew’s success has certainly not come easily and his story is all the more inspiring because of it!

Also, Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a listener who is trying to move on in her career and facing the dreaded “but you don’t have enough experience yet” road block while Matthew gives Adam the WHITE LION music cue that he had been waiting his whole life to see in a film or television show.
