What I love most about my conversations on UNWRITTEN+ is when they stop being about titles and job descriptions — and become about the life underneath. My new episode with Daniela Tully is exactly that.
Daniela is a novelist, screenwriter, and creative producer whose journey has unfolded across five countries and three continents — and every place has reshaped the way she writes, works, and sees the world. From co-producing Hollywood films like Contagion and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in Abu Dhabi to writing her debut novel Hotel on Shadow Lake (inspired by a WWII letter her grandmother received 46 years late), her path is anything but linear.
We talk about: • What “home” means when you have several • How expat life changes your sense of identity — and complicates “belonging” • Why her students in Dubai read stories without the Western lens • How Bedouin storytelling influenced her writing • And yes — the slap on a Mexican film set that echoed across a canyon
It’s a layered, cross-border, deeply human and enormously fun conversation — exactly what Unwritten+ was made for.
