Are you a filmmaker who wants more energy and focus on long shoots? It all starts with a solid morning routine. Filmmaking, especially documentary filmmaking, can take you away from home and drop you in uncomfortable situations for weeks or months on end. If you don’t have a system in place to take care of yourself mentally and physically, it can grind you down before you notice it’s happening. So give this simple morning routine a try - it’s worked miracles for me!
