In this solo episode, host Jon Bregel, filmmaker, coach for filmmakers, and founder of the Nourish Community, reflects on a question that has been surfacing in his conversations with filmmakers from all experience levels: Is my career in film sustainable?

With industry uncertainty for many, financial pressures, and evolving personal priorities, many filmmakers are questioning their long-term path. Jon shares his own journey, how his career in filmmaking didn’t unfold the way he initially expected, and how he had to redefine success, sustainability, and his relationship with the industry.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, this episode presents a series of self-reflective questions to help filmmakers evaluate their own careers and identify what sustainability looks like for them.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• Why its common for filmmakers to question their career paths and what’s driving this shift

• Eight questions to ask yourself when assessing the sustainability of your career

• How personal values, work-life balance, and financial realities play a role in long-term fulfillment

• The difference between pushing through burnout and redesigning your career for sustainability

• How to recognize when you’re forcing your career to fit a mold that no longer serves you

Jon’s personal reflections, combined with insights from his coaching work with filmmakers, offer a grounded and honest perspective on navigating a career that supports both creativity and well-being.
