Illy Presents: Inspiring Creativity

Illy Presents Inspiring Creativity

If there’s one thing I have loved to do my whole life that is to be creative. I used to interview my family like I was a talk show host, create my own shows, make videos and create MizHollywood.com. Some people don’t act on their creativity regularly. I can’t shut my brain off. When I think of ideas and can make them happen it makes me so happy. We are put here to ask questions and be creative and give to society in some way.

Illy, the Trieste based Italian coffee company, brings you Inspiring Creativity, a compilation of interviews captured on film by global multidisciplinary cultural organization Liberatum, which explores what creativity means and the catalysts that inspire it.

The short film features 21 artists and cultural figures from art, fashion, film, design, technology and music — Inspiring Creativity is an insider’s perspective on inspiration from the minds of well-known creative personalities including:

Diana Picasso, Hans Zimmer, Inez van Lamsweerde, Vinoodh Matadin, James Franco, Joan Smalls, Johan Lindeberg, Jonas Mekas, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Karen Elson, Karim Rashid, Klaus Biesenbach, Lee Daniels, Lola Montes Schnabel, Marilyn Minter, Nico Muhly, Mark Romanek, Tracey Emin, Moby, Paul Schrader, and Richard Saul Wurman.

Through this short film you see what inspires them, what they create. What is creativity to them? Creativity to me is dreaming, it’s being able to be free and free-thinking. If you listen to everyone around you always telling you no and you can’t do something you are blocking that creativity. Be open to all the possibilities that are out there. There are more free tools out there now than ever before. Let your creativity fly.
