WEBVTT - 'The Year Of' Star Matt Nable On Getting Recognised In Public

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, Hazy. One of the great series on STAN was

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>called The Bump and I watched it with my kids.

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely loved it. And from the creators of that

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>another original series it's called The Year of and the

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>star of it is Matt Nable.

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, gay guys, how are we?

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 2>Good?

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Is this like watching your baby come to life? When

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>a series finally comes out on a streaming service.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 2>Look, it's always great, you know when it actually gets birth,

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>because more and you've done it, you know, months and

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>months before. In this case, it was I think it

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>was August September last year, so you sort of forget

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>about it and then obviously it rolls around you. It's

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>impressed for it and you get to see it. So yeah,

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>it's always nice feeling when it actually gets this point

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:45.599
<v Speaker 2>where it's coming out.

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>So Matt, for the uninitiated, just tell us what it's

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>all about as much as you can without giving anything away.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>It's about these young kids coming together and dealing with

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.279
<v Speaker 2>loss in a period of time where it's tumultuous, where

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>they're finding out who they are cells and where their

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>relationships sit with each other, and how this has had

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>an effect on them. The creator Dan Edwards experienced something

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 2>similar in his last year of school, so there's a

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of authenticity in and around that he's drawn from

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.119
<v Speaker 2>and was impetus for this show. So yeah, it really

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>is focused been and around these young young kids, and

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>so in that regarded something quite novel.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned Danielle there. She played Red in Wentworth, which

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 1>again was one of the greatest series Australia has ever seen.

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Is she one of the most talented actresses you've ever

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>worked with?

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've been like enough to work with Dan a

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>couple of times, so yeah, she's a powerhouse and extraordinarily

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>well respected in amongst the Australian actors community and abroad

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>as well. So yeah, that was a groundbreaking show and

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>set a really high standard bar for a female driven

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>show in Australia and indeed around the word. Well they

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of a big audience around the world. So,

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I've been really lucky to work with

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the end a couple of times, so it was nice

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>to reunite it and do something together again.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Matt Nabel from the stand original series A Year of It,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>joins us this morning on no But Matt so joke

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 3>said before that she got her girls together, her family

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 3>to get to watch The Bump. So it feels like

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 3>this is one of those similar sort of series where

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 3>there's strong messages for both adolescents and for parents as well.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, most definitely look at you know, they've called a

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a spin off of Bump, but it's

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's no real connective tissue there is other

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>than the creators, and but they're playing in the space

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>that they know really really well. Like I said, Dan

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 2>as a creator of this show, had a lot to

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>pull from and it was something that he you know,

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I know, wanted to make for quite quite some time.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 2>So there are really strong themes in there and things

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>that need to be talked about and hopefully it'll get

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>the audience that there are for the demographic. Is these

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, really are these you know, fifteen to twenty

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>year old where a lot of these types of issues

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>are rearing their head. So we've all got really high

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 2>hopes for the show, and I guess we'll see in

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of weeks how sort of unfold.

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Matt, I'm just looking at your bio here. You've been

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:23.559
<v Speaker 1>in pretty much every impressive Australian production ever from Transfusion,

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the twelve, the Dry, The list goes on and on.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Are you at that stage where you walk down the

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>street and get recognized or are people like I know

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you from somewhere where we at.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Look, I think it's relative, you know, Like I spent

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>quite a bit of time overseas working in the US, so.

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you do.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Look, it's relative, you know, like if you're in something

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>that's out at that time, then obviously it's a little

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>bit more profuse and prolific. But generally speaking, yeah, you

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>get recognized, you know, all the time. But you're right,

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>sometimes I just don't know where to place, you know,

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Itsudians as opposed to say, a US sort of audience

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>in that regard.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, Matt, thank you so much for your time this morning.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the stand original series. It's called Year of It

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>premieres on June nine. And good luck with the birthing

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>process for you.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much, nice to talk here.
