5 Ways to Nurture Your Doc LifeThere are many ways that we documentary filmmakers take care of ourselves, or perhaps maybe more aptly put, do not take care of ourselves. And with the long hours, sometimes limited budgets, sometimes other day jobs, family life, you name it.. it’s no wonder that we doc lifers sometimes tend to neglect our emotional and physical well being. Which is why I’m here to give you a little primer to help steer you back to the path of emotional, physical, and creative success in your own doc life. Podcast ConversationDocumentary filmmaker (and big proponent of meditation!), Rebecca Dreyfus joined me in our shared Conversation. Dreyfus has been working in documentary for 20 years, since her first feature, Bye-Bye Babushka first came on the scene and was quickly noticed by documentary legend, Albert Maysles, who would then go on to be lead camera in Dreyfus’ critically-acclaimed follow-up, Stolen.  A mentorship would soon blossom from this collaboration. Dreyfus’ current documentary film, On Meditation, takes a look at the age-old practice of meditation as told through the eyes of established names who attribute the practice to much of their personal and professional success. Topics Discussedthe value of true persistence as a documentary filmmakerthe importance of a mentor and how to go about finding onekey advice for first-time documentary filmmakerswhat part the practice of meditation plays in the creative process Related Resources° Watch the trailer for Rebecca Dreyfus’ On Meditationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1_g5F_mp14 ° Trailer for the acclaimed documentary film Stolen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG0-st-5H6E #DocLifer of the Week As mentioned in our #DocLifer Community Question of the Week, check out the trailer for fellow #DocLifer, Jaime’s current documentary project, Masters of Mahjonghttps://vimeo.com/220673394 Sponsors &amp; Thank You’sFree Music Archive – Special Thank You to recording artist, Dlay who supplied the song Whatever for this week’s episode of TDL.
