Earlier this month, we drove from Zagreb to Berlin to finish our feature film, After the Act. We were adding pick-ups and filming new scenes, expanding the story after reviewing the edit and realizing it needed more work.

On the way home, we planned to film a new episode in our Life Improvised series, titled Sugar, set in Prague. It made sense logistically: Prague was less than four hours from Berlin, our car was loaded with gear, and Prague is stunning on film. Two birds, one stone—but it meant planning two productions on a tight schedule in two different cities.

Could we do it?

We could and did, but the goal of this blog isn't to brag. It's to explain how we managed it and the mindset that made it possible: patience, flexibility, and compromise.
