In this episode of the Wandering DP podcast, host Jon Bregel engages in a deep conversation with cinematographer Jon Chema about the often overlooked aspects of filmmaking, including networking, personal wellness, and the importance of maintaining a balanced life while pursuing a creative career.

They discuss the significance of building genuine relationships in the industry, the challenges of managing travel and fitness, and the necessity of setting boundaries to protect one's mental health. Chema shares his journey into filmmaking, the impact of travel on creativity, and strategies for overcoming self-doubt and comparison in a competitive field.

Life Off Set - Jon Bregel

Jon Bregel has come on board to host a new series on the podcast called "Life Off Set".

He is a filmmaker, coach for filmmakers, and founder of the Nourish community.

Jon has been on the podcast twice previously and now he is taking the reins to shed some light on a side of the filmmaking industry that is very rarely explored.

His unique background and experience at the highest level makes him the perfect sounding board for filmmakers trying to come to terms with the ins and outs of the job.
