## Resource

In this episode I’m joined by filmmaker Jon Bregel, who recently DP'd the new Jay Duplass feature film The Baltimorons - which premiered at this year's SXSW film festival, and was released theatrically in September via IFC Films. Throughout the interview we trace Jon's journey from leveraging Vimeo as a tool to launch a successful commercial career in New York, to stepping away and redefining what it means to be a working filmmaker. We dig into creative alignment, sustainable career building, and how a documentary-minded approach has shaped some of his recent work. Topics covered include: From Vimeo Staff Pick to a call from Nike - early momentum in the Vimeo heyday Burnout, depression, and redefining success beyond money and prestige How to work like a professional, build routines, and treat freelancing like a real business Landing The Baltimorons : and how “manifesting” opportunities really works Lighting quickly with tiny crews, embracing imperfection, and protecting spontaneity What Jon learned from Jay Duplass about presence, and generous leadership Practical longevity: sustaining energy and morale across an indie feature schedule Links from the show: The Baltimorons - Movie Site Jon Bregel - Website & Coaching The Nourish Community Sign up for my newsletter for exclusive filmmaking insight each Sunday
