We asked Katherine Matthews how her session, Spice Up Your Life: Creativity, Community and the Art of Masala Film-Making, challenges prevailing thought.

The masala film genre and its exuberant style of storytelling has slowly been influencing the way I work as a podcaster, and what I hope to bring to PAB is a better understanding of the genre, how it works, and what it teaches me about being in a creative space.  I’m hoping it will generate some new ideas for others on crafting stories and creating media using in ways they might not have thought of before, by mining a wealth of creative influences and traditional ideas, by seeking out fresh ones, and by connecting with other creators

Katherine Matthews will be speaking at 9:00am on Sunday, June 21 as part of the PAB09 program.
