In this episode of Mental Health for Creative Minds, the KZfaq Podcast that explores the mental wellbeing of creatives working in film and theater, I had the privilege of speaking with Joey Case-a Showrunner, Development Executive, and Creator with over 25 years of experience in comedy, hidden camera, and factual television.
Throughout our conversation, Joey opens up about his personal journey, sharing his perspective on the often-overlooked struggles behind the scenes and offers us a more positive and inspiring narrative.
Here's some things you can anticipate in todays episode :
Joey speaks on his early career experiences dealing with difficult personalities and power dynamics, leading him to adapt his communication style, and choosing his battles wisely in order to maintain professionalism (and sanity).
Joey recounts experiencing a stroke while working as a first-time showrunner, leading him to reevaluate his approach to stress and highlights the importance of being open about mental health challenges.
Amid industry challenges like project cancellations, Joey emphasizes the importance of discipline, hope, and an entrepreneurial mindset to create opportunities rather than relying solely on the work others will give you.
If you work in film, if you are leading set spaces or currently working your way up, if you have received more rejection than you can keep track of, or if you are stressed and losing your cool on set and recognizing that there must be a better way… This episode is for you.
