DocuMentality - calling all documentary filmmakers!

I’m so excited to be working with my dear friend Rebecca Day on an important new initiative for the documentary community.

DocuMentality is an initiative that seeks to normalise a conversation about mental health and well-being in the documentary industry, and to provide best practice guidance and information for documentary filmmakers to become more resilient resources for themselves, their teams and the people who entrust them with their stories. The project is being led by Film In Mind and The D-Word, and supported by BFI Doc Society, American Documentary POV and Scottish Documentary Institute. 

Currently in the research phase, DocuMentality will result in the release of a free online mental health resource for the documentary community.

We are inviting filmmakers to participate in a series of focus groups and an online survey over the coming weeks. Please encourage your networks of documentary filmmakers to register their interest by March 9th at documentality.org and we will be in touch with further details.
