Jonathon Nadeau is a creator, film fest organizer, computer genius, and guitarist.
He is also blind.
He chats about his life, positive outlook, music, and his film fest.
Positive outlook is so important right now, especially to me. I am recovering from surgery for colon cancer, which came as a complete and terrifying surprise. I took one of those home tests and it flagged something, so I got a colonoscopy. I was sure they’d find nothing, I had no pain or symptoms. I woke up being asked what my favorite hospital was. Please, if you’re 45 or older, get a home FIT or Cologuard test, or colonoscopy. Catching this early could have saved my life.
I was contacted by The Tournadeau Film Fest regarding my short film, “Violin Scratches,” featuring violinist Gaelynn Lea. Gaelynn is busy scoring music for the Broadway prodution of MacBeth! Gaelynn and her music continue to inspire people globally. Last week, film fest organizer Jonathan Nadeau had an hour-long Zoom chat neither of us wanted to end. He asked many questions about my film and work, and I realized I wanted right away to schedule a separate Zoom so you could meet him and hear his story.
Jonathon and I start by chatting about the last session I mixed by Mongolian Throat Singers, The Hu.
Deadline for the Tournadeau Film Fest is June 30th. TournadeauFreedom is a code that will get you free entry through Film Freeway. We talked about all kinds of music, and how he had discovered the powerful drumming by The Eastern Medicine Singers.
I’ve only been to Connecticut once, and absolutely loved it. I hope someday to make it to Putnam to catch this festival, or any of the creative projects Jonathon is involved in. My hope is to soon hear him playing a left-handed mandolin!
