Creatives talk Depression (2019)

We took a moment to sit down with some of the creatives in our growing network to talk mental health and depression.
This film survey's the varied and diverse independent experiences of individuals struggling with currently, or that have previously battled with the illness.
Negative Mental Health is barrier many young people are facing. The lack of transparency, open conversation and the shadow stigma still casts over the subject cause many to retreat into themselves instead of sharing what they are going through. We want to change that.
This film whilst reflecting on some individual experiences, gives light to how the illness is handled in the social sphere as well as highlighting what in our culture can contribute to low mood. Pointing us to the areas where we can all do collectively better to look out for one and other, make time for these types of conversations and help make the load a little lighter.
Spearheading a series of films where we invite creatives in our network into a dialogue around creative practise, navigating the creative industries and expanding on barriers they might be facing independently.
Nope they aren't influencers but you can bet they are impacting culture in a real way.
