Help Jack portray mental health through film and photography for others and himself.

$5,513 of $50,000 goal
Given by 64 generous donors in around 11 months

Please can you help me raise funds so I can make short films depicting life with mental health issues?

Nationwide

I am an aspiring film-maker and photographer....with mental health issues. I suffer from emotional disregulation, PTSD, depression, anxiety and have disabling symptoms such as blackouts and daily hallucinations.

My desire is to tell my story through the lens of a camera, making two short films depicting life with mental health issues - one film for those who suffer like me, one film for those who don't know anything about what it's like for those with mental health issues.

However due to the blackouts and hallucinations, I am unable to work in a regular job therefore cannot afford the equipment I need. Please can you help me by donating to my goal? By donating, I will be able to tell stories that will not only help my own mental health but will help others - I want to provide hope and light for other sufferers and their families by telling their stories.

Use of funds

Donations cover equipment for making films, plus costs for a photography exhibition. Money raised at exhibition will be donated to mental health charities. Surplus funds will cover further equipment and help me to continually make films helping others.
