In fact, 83% of knowledge workers rely primarily on email and chat for team communication. And, nearly 60% of their workday is lost switching between these tools and searching for information. Between the unending email chains, missed comments, and version mix-ups, your voice disappears from the creative work, and you end up with delayed and subpar submissions.

When I started prepping my latest film, Mooch - a 91-minute noir comedy (very) loosely based on my own experience as an emo-kid-turned-golf-caddy - I knew the biggest challenge wasn't just making the film. It was making it while juggling multiple roles: director, actor, editor, sometimes producer.
