MICHAEL NAKAN | Strengthening the China-UK Creative Connection
Michael Nakan is the founder of Clipper Media Capital, a London-based production and packaging company. He cut his Hollywood teeth on the US version of “House of Cards” and then in NYC at HBO before returning home to the UK to work in development for DARKEST HOUR director Joe Wright. He's also established a China office of his UK firm and is successfully bridging the gap between the two markets. A great talk!

KEVIN GEIGER | Revenge of the Fretful Laowai Radio Hour!
Returning champion Kevin Geiger (Magic Dumpling, Peewee Frog; ex-Disney) is back for another freewheeling China chat! We start with an outline and let it rip from there. Big fun, and a big reason I rebooted the podcast. We talk about returning home & expat ennui (hence the “Fretful Laowai” show handle), our new projects, how to (and how NOT to) package and produce a feature film (note: it really helps if you hire a rockstar cinematographer, and then he brings on partners who’ve worked on Green Book, the latest Star Wars, Interstellar, etc) and lastly: how to tell if you’ve been in China for too damn long. Enjoy!

From Vintage Cars To Clean Air | SEAN KOOPMANS
#073 - From Vintage Cars To Clean Air | Sean Koopmans
This week’s episode features Sean Koopmans. Sean is a Dutch Canadian who moved to Beijing in 2002. He left a world of vintage cars and clean air and came to China, where he found little of either. There’s not much of a big local community for the former, but after some other stops along the way, he decided to do something about the latter. Enjoy!
