The Man Up Project

The Man Up Project is a short film created by local musician turned filmmaker Ben O’Shea. Supported by both ArtHouse Jersey and Crestbridge the film explores the reality of men’s mental health in Jersey, right in the middle of national Mental Health Awareness Week.

Ben has worked closely with Mind Jersey, Liberate, Listening Lounge and Jersey Hospice on the project. Through discussions with local men as well as local mental health professionals Ben set out to gain a better understanding for men’s relationship with the concept of mental health, how each of his contributors handles it and shines a light on the many positive resources available to Islanders.
