Three Quarters – a feature doco on men’s mental health

Support our crowdfunding campaign until 21 April 2025 - HERE

In Australia, more than three quarters of suicides are males. Many are in crisis but support is not reaching them. A group of men living in the Queensland town of Warwick want to know why. 

Darren is a middle-aged man who occasionally struggles with his own mental health and communication. He wants to know more about some of the issues that men face, why suicide is so prevalent for men in the region and how he can be part of creating better access to useful and locally relevant support.

The fact that his family has lived-experience of suicide and his own son attempted to take his life recently only fuels him further and makes it personal.

Nathan and Aaron, both First Nations men, are also searching for answers for why the local Aboriginal community, including members of their family, struggle so much with suicide. Through conversations with Indigenous service providers, local men, their families, professionals and each other, they’re seeking answers and ideas for how they can support men who are struggling with their mental health and ways to seek help. 

Tired of blaming the system but aware of its shortcomings, Darren, Nathan and Aaron hope people can  work together to find new ways to stop the senseless loss of life in Warwick.

Finding Buzza – A feature doco on the housing crisis

We've just gone into development on a feature documentary about the housing situation in Australia. Set in Magandjin (Brisbane) and told through the eyes of a tenant after receiving a rent increase, the film unpacks a range of perspectives on the causes of the current situation around housing accessibility and affordability while sharing personal stories of the crisis' impacts. This project is in its early stages of research and scripting with production planned for late in 2025. Funding sources are yet to be identified and people/organisations interested in collaborating are encouraged to get in touch.
