Burning Out: How to take care of your mental health as a documentary filmmaker?
Burning out is a common problem among documentarians, but now we break the silence and focus on the mental health of the filmmaker. Directors and producers from various backgrounds share their experiences of trying to keep an inner balance as making documentaries. How can we take care of ourselves as filming others, while dealing with challenging mental and physical situations on the field, trying to keep the right balance between work and family or just letting characters go as getting involved in their lives?
