Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. So, today I want to ask you for help. I know it's not the
first time, but let me explain. As you may know I've covered multiple topics on this channel so far
but there's one that's really really dear to my heart, really close to my heart, that I
haven't really been able to discuss just yet and... that's men and mental health I'm only 33 but I've
encountered innumerable souls who had to suffer in silence. It breaks my heart to see them in pain,
but I have to admit: I ,myself am a byproduct of their struggles. Their mental health has affected
me as well. I am broken and I will never be the same again. And I know i'm not alone. But I also
know it's not their fault. It's how society shapes approach towards men who struggle on an emotional
level. This needs to change. I can't do this alone, but we can do this together. Today women are three
times more likely than men to experience common mental health problems, and yet men are three times
more likely than women to commit suicide. That's not right. Why should all of us care, both women
and men who don't really struggle with any mental health issues? Well, it's because it always creates
a ripple effect. When a man hides his struggles, it means that potentially... Someone loses their son.
Someone loses their brother. Someone loses their husband. A child loses their father.
Everyone loses a dear friend. I want to create a 10 to 15 minutes long documentary / short
film to address this incredibly pressing issue. To do this, I will need your help on many many
levels, but today we're talking about the financial level. On average, a minute of a documentary / short
film costs a thousand pounds... A thousand pounds to produce A minute. I cannot do this on my own
since I only make 200-300 hundred pounds a month off youtube and I don't really make
that much money outside of youtube. I barely pay the rent so there is no way I can just,
you know, take two months out of my life and just dedicate that to creating this movie.
And then just deliver it for free for everyone to watch. Now, I'm only trying to raise 4999 pounds
out of the potential 10 000 to 15 000. Now, why can I do this for just a third or just a half of
the usual price. Why can I do it for so cheap. First of all, I am working with friends. We
have a group of five people. I haven't found two yet but I am actually currently casting people.
But I do have a group of three people already, and yeah... They are my friends and
they have agreed to do their work for just a tiny fraction of what they would normally charge.
And second of all, most importantly, I can do most of it on my own. So there are
10 other things that I have to do that I would potentially have to hire different people for,
and pay each person ,10 people, 10 extra people on the team... I would have to pay them at least a grand
each, maybe 2 000 pounds for a couple of days of work. I can do it all on my own and
I'm literally paying myself just the tiniest fraction of what I would normally have to pay.
So I'm actually paying myself less than the UK minimum wage per month... But, you know. It's just to
cover the bills, my monthly bills and my groceries. And that's it. I'm not making any money whatsoever
on this project, on this movie... But you know, I'm a filmmaker, I haven't been this excited
in a very very long time. Ever since I started working on this a few days ago I've just been...
I don't know I've been back from the dead I guess. I haven't been feeling very well recently so
ever since I started doing this it just feels like I actually have a reason to live again. And yeah,
This cause, this topic is very very dear to me and I would absolutely love to be able to
film it and deliver the best film I can deliver for you. And hopefully, potentially save a few lives
along the way. So if you find my work valuable and you care about this cause, you can donate
through my gofundme. I will leave a link down below. And also sharing this would mean the world to me,
I know we all are struggling right now, many of us financially... Sharing really really will
help as well. So thank you so much for watching. There are so many more details about this campaign
on the gofundme page if you want to check it out. Yeah. Hopefully I will see you very soon. Bye!
