Depression in Filmmakers - Let's Talk

12/07/2016 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments



Over the last 5 years, Rob has had two 6-month periods where he was very down, this is his experience:


I was depressed. I never went to see a doctor so I wasn't diagnosed, but I realize that this action of not taking action was part of a bigger problem we all have in this filmmaking world. The more I started to tell people the more I realized it was everyone's secret.


I was tired, unmotivated, stressed, anxious, couldn’t sleep and feeling worthless. I couldn’t get it to leave. Was it related to being a filmmaker and youtuber in this modern world? I think so. I’d be willing to say that depression is higher in our field and I think we need to talk about it.


Here are my favorite videos that I’ve seen on the topic of depression all wrapped up into a nice little playlist. If you have others feel free to add them in the links below.

Also, do leave me your comments. Look, it’s important to let anyone that is going through it know they’re not alone. And, realize that it doesn’t mean you’re weak if you’re going through depression - anymore than having a broken leg means your weak. I might even see it as part of the struggle that anyone in our field will likely go through to get to where they want to be.


Thanks for watching and letting me share.
