OVERVIEW

Background

Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australian men aged 15 to 44. Please take that in, it's both incredible and sad. Australian men are born expressing how they feel, but at a certain age they learn to stop crying and shut up. This silence, and suppression of emotion can eventually kill. This work shines a light on this insight, and encourages men to man up and speak up when they are feeling down?. With over 60 million views (all organic, no paid media) the message is strongly resonating.

Execution

The figures on Men’s mental health and suicide in Australia are staggering. The genre of Documentary and working with Actor and Non Actors alike is where Ben truly excels, it’s instinctive to him. Ben's approach to subjects, people and how he manages to get such honest and compelling results is incredible to see. To be able to apply that talent and help a foundation such as Movember and a cause as important Mens Health and Suicide is very rewarding.
