Roy Spence On The Creative Fix With SXSW [Video]
The Creative Fix with SXSW delves into the methods, processes, and inspiration driving some of the most creative minds in the worlds of music, film, tech, and beyond. Be sure to follow our Facebook Page or subscribe to our YouTube Channel to catch every episode.
On the latest episode of The Creative Fix, SXSW Conference Programmer Dhinuka Perera talks with GSD&M co-founder and SXSW 2018 Featured Speaker Roy Spence.
Roy Spence
Austin was a funky little college town known more for its hippies than its techies when Roy Spence and his partners founded GSD&M in 1971. Since then, Spence has become a legend in the Austin creative community as the head of the ad agency. He’s helped numerous iconic companies discover their (capital ‘P’) Purpose: the defining qualities that guide their decisions, improve their methods, and distinguish them from the competition.
In the past decade, he’s founded The Purpose Institute to extend this journey of discovery to individuals, helping people find purpose and passion in what they do. Our purpose at SXSW is helping creative people achieve their goals; we were psyched to talk with Spence about the value and importance of having a purpose.
Check out Dhinuka and Roy Spence’s conversation about the lessons he’s learned from a lifetime of creativity and a get a sneak peek of his 2018 SXSW Featured Session.

Charlyne Yi Accuses Marilyn Manson of Sexual Harassment, Says He Called Her ‘China Man’
In a series of tweets that have since been deleted, actress Charlyne Yi accuses Marilyn Manson of sexual harassment on the set of “House” during its final season. “Yes this happened a long time ago — on the last season of House he came on set to visit because he was a huge fan of the show & he harassed just about every woman asking us if we were going to scissor, rhino & called me a China man, she wrote”
“It’s so triggering to see people come up on the internet who have harassed you,” Yi continued. “And then when you talk about the incidents you become known as the person tied to the harasser. And that’s just your name from now on. It almost overrides who you are.” “I genuinely hope he gets help,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet, seemingly in regards to reports that Manson had a “breakdown” onstage and abruptly ended a concert early on Thursday night.
In addition to her role on “House,” Yi is best known for her appearances in “Knocked Up,” “Cloverfield,” and “Paper Heart,” for which she won a screenwriting award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

‘The Last Thing He Wanted’: Anne Hathaway May Team With ‘Mudbound’ Director Dee Rees for Joan Didion Adaptation
Now that she’s received an Oscar nomination for bringing “Mudbound” to the screen, Dee Rees will soon be on to her next project: “The Last Thing He Wanted,” an adaptation of Joan Didion’s novel of the same name. The film will re-team Rees with producer Cassian Elwes and, if early word is to be believed, Anne Hathaway as well.
The Oscar winner would be playing Elena McMahon, a Washington Post reporter covering the 1984 presidential primaries who gets embroiled in arms-dealing conspiracy.
Didion is among the most acclaimed authors of her generation, but only one of her books has been adapted for film before: the devastating “Play It as It Lays.” Though best known for her nonfiction, like the essay collections “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” and “The White Album,” Didion has written several other novels: “Democracy,” “A Book of Common Prayer,” “Run River.” She also wrote several screenplays with her husband John Gregory Dunne, including “The Panic in Needle Park” and “A Star Is Born.”
Rees is up for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards, and Hathaway will next be seen in “Ocean’s 8.”
