What an insightful and affirming piece Stephen. The exhaustion, 'should I just give up?' and losing passion elements are something that I have definitely reckoned with immensely during the production of my first feature film over the past year. It's both reassuring to know that these feelings are shared by so many but also fairly depressing as well. I look forward to reading more about what you find out. I will be keeping a close eye on the segment about the world of festival submissions as I will be entering imminently into that phase!

I just "discovered" you on LinkedIn and very much appreciate your particular expertise related to the film industry. Found your podcast and will start listening quasi-religiously!
