As an actor, I’ve been involved in some incredible stories that have sparked some really important and in some cases, life changing conversations. I don’t think you can ever underestimate the impact good storytelling can have on an audience.

When I became a Dad for the first time, it didn’t take long before I noticed a shift in my mental health. It’s an emotionally demanding time and everything feels so much more heightened. That can be pretty hard to navigate, especially if you don’t talk about it.

I did some research to try and understand more about my journey into fatherhood and it became clear that whilst there is a community out there for men struggling with their mental health during the perinatal period, there simply isn’t enough support. We often associate postnatal depression being linked to women but actually similar signs can show themselves in men. This is something that doesn’t really get talked about nor is it something I have seen explored on screen .

I believe this film will speak to many Dad’s out there who may need some support and will hopefully spark those important conversations which was ultimately the catalyst for writing and wanting to make this film.
