Men’s Talk Premiere Film

Men’s Talk Digital (MT Digital) 

This is CLEAR’s film-making project for men who have experienced mental health issues.

MT Digital uses digital media to create short films that aim to reduce stigma and encourage debate around men’s mental health and to signpost other men to local mental health services.

As well as making their own films – MT Digital undertakes commissioned work – providing services to third sector organisations, local authorities and the wider Inspire North group.

Supported by Creative Frame CIC – MT Digital provides participants with training, equipment and support.

Commissions have included Kirklees Council, Leeds Mind and Calderdale NHS.
