Speaker 1: Well, Hazy. One of the great series on STAN was
Speaker 1: called The Bump and I watched it with my kids.
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved it. And from the creators of that
Speaker 1: another original series it's called The Year of and the
Speaker 1: star of it is Matt Nable.
Speaker 2: Good morning, gay guys, how are we?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: Is this like watching your baby come to life? When
Speaker 1: a series finally comes out on a streaming service.
Speaker 2: Look, it's always great, you know when it actually gets birth,
Speaker 2: because more and you've done it, you know, months and
Speaker 2: months before. In this case, it was I think it
Speaker 2: was August September last year, so you sort of forget
Speaker 2: about it and then obviously it rolls around you. It's
Speaker 2: impressed for it and you get to see it. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's always nice feeling when it actually gets this point
Speaker 2: where it's coming out.
Speaker 1: So Matt, for the uninitiated, just tell us what it's
Speaker 1: all about as much as you can without giving anything away.
Speaker 2: It's about these young kids coming together and dealing with
Speaker 2: loss in a period of time where it's tumultuous, where
Speaker 2: they're finding out who they are cells and where their
Speaker 2: relationships sit with each other, and how this has had
Speaker 2: an effect on them. The creator Dan Edwards experienced something
Speaker 2: similar in his last year of school, so there's a
Speaker 2: lot of authenticity in and around that he's drawn from
Speaker 2: and was impetus for this show. So yeah, it really
Speaker 2: is focused been and around these young young kids, and
Speaker 2: so in that regarded something quite novel.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Danielle there. She played Red in Wentworth, which
Speaker 1: again was one of the greatest series Australia has ever seen.
Speaker 1: Is she one of the most talented actresses you've ever
Speaker 1: worked with?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been like enough to work with Dan a
Speaker 2: couple of times, so yeah, she's a powerhouse and extraordinarily
Speaker 2: well respected in amongst the Australian actors community and abroad
Speaker 2: as well. So yeah, that was a groundbreaking show and
Speaker 2: set a really high standard bar for a female driven
Speaker 2: show in Australia and indeed around the word. Well they
Speaker 2: had a lot of a big audience around the world. So,
Speaker 2: like I said, I've been really lucky to work with
Speaker 2: the end a couple of times, so it was nice
Speaker 2: to reunite it and do something together again.
Speaker 3: Matt Nabel from the stand original series A Year of It,
Speaker 3: joins us this morning on no But Matt so joke
Speaker 3: said before that she got her girls together, her family
Speaker 3: to get to watch The Bump. So it feels like
Speaker 3: this is one of those similar sort of series where
Speaker 3: there's strong messages for both adolescents and for parents as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, most definitely look at you know, they've called a
Speaker 2: little bit of a spin off of Bump, but it's
Speaker 2: you know, there's no real connective tissue there is other
Speaker 2: than the creators, and but they're playing in the space
Speaker 2: that they know really really well. Like I said, Dan
Speaker 2: as a creator of this show, had a lot to
Speaker 2: pull from and it was something that he you know,
Speaker 2: I know, wanted to make for quite quite some time.
Speaker 2: So there are really strong themes in there and things
Speaker 2: that need to be talked about and hopefully it'll get
Speaker 2: the audience that there are for the demographic. Is these
Speaker 2: you know, really are these you know, fifteen to twenty
Speaker 2: year old where a lot of these types of issues
Speaker 2: are rearing their head. So we've all got really high
Speaker 2: hopes for the show, and I guess we'll see in
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks how sort of unfold.
Speaker 1: Matt, I'm just looking at your bio here. You've been
Speaker 1: in pretty much every impressive Australian production ever from Transfusion,
Speaker 1: the twelve, the Dry, The list goes on and on.
Speaker 1: Are you at that stage where you walk down the
Speaker 1: street and get recognized or are people like I know
Speaker 1: you from somewhere where we at.
Speaker 2: Look, I think it's relative, you know, Like I spent
Speaker 2: quite a bit of time overseas working in the US, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2: Look, it's relative, you know, like if you're in something
Speaker 2: that's out at that time, then obviously it's a little
Speaker 2: bit more profuse and prolific. But generally speaking, yeah, you
Speaker 2: get recognized, you know, all the time. But you're right,
Speaker 2: sometimes I just don't know where to place, you know,
Speaker 2: Itsudians as opposed to say, a US sort of audience
Speaker 2: in that regard.
Speaker 1: Well, Matt, thank you so much for your time this morning.
Speaker 1: It's the stand original series. It's called Year of It
Speaker 1: premieres on June nine. And good luck with the birthing
Speaker 1: process for you.
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, nice to talk here.
