Tell us about a challenge you faced during production and how you overcame it.
Balancing the demanding constraints of work, family commitments, and dedicated studio time is one of the most prominent hurdles encountered during the production of Got the Stride.
Production was treated with the same structural rigidity as a professional meeting. Specific, non-negotiable early morning or late-evening blocks were reserved solely for studio tracking.
Establishing clear boundaries and scheduling studio time in tandem with family needs ensured mutual support, reducing the domestic friction that often accompanies long creative processes.
