SICK The Movie about Mental Health

During half-term, we brought together seven young individuals to embark on an ambitious film project that addresses the urgent need for greater focus on mental health. We didn’t rely on knives or guns; our only weapons were passion and a commitment to change the narrative. This project aims to shed light on the mental health struggles that many young people experience, often showing signs early on. It was these challenges that inspired the creation of SICK, a short film dedicated to addressing this critical issue.

To reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, we must recognise it as a concern for everyone.

Film provides a powerful platform to bring mental health into the spotlight, offering a way to approach sensitive subjects with care and openness. Our screenings serve as a catalyst for discussion, helping people navigate difficult conversations, foster empathy, and ultimately, reduce the stigma associated with mental health.

SICK made history as the first short film ever to be screened at the prestigious National Gallery in London
