In 9 days I start my trip to L.A. !

Can’t wait for it! This weekend my brother and me shoot a music video with a newcomer band in the east of Germany.

The whole plan was knocked over and over again and now the weather is rainy, too. But we got plan b and are still motivated! 🙂

Now we enjoy our coffee, pack our equipment and start the car.

For the filmmakers: We shoot on Sony A6300/Sigma 30mm f1.4 on Zhiyun Crane v2 with external 7″ monitor. 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Phil

But depression is not just a bad phase or sitting sad in a corner because something bad happened or you are overwhelmed with life. Depression is the brick in your backpack as you climb a mountain. It’s the key left in the ignition overnight, draining the battery. It’s the dripping tap that slowly floods your apartment while you are on a world trip.

Depression has many facets, which is why it can’t be identified as simply as a broken leg.
