20.01.2022 Morning fellow actors, I was lucky to have access to film b-roll shots last night at the TV Week Logie awards and captured moments of joy, but also saw actors in moments of vulnerability preparing themselves to face the flash bulbs of the photographers. When you achieve the heights that you aspire there can be pressures you will face, such as scrutiny on what you wear and how you look. It takes courage to be an actor, be brave to work on your own inner demons so that your self worth comes from within rather than elsewhere. B :)

17.01.2022 Morning fellow actors, PRESSURES OF BEING A FREELANCER: Most of us working in the entertainment industry are freelancers, essentially running small businesses day in day out. The ATO has recently acknowledged that there can be additional pressures on small businesses that may impact on mental health, so they have set up this support page. The main message of the page is: if you are having difficulty paying tax, super, and with the general keeping on top of paperwork that come...s with running a small business - reach out to them and they will help you find a solution. https://www.ato.gov.au//Small-business-owners-experiencin/

11.01.2022 Hi fellow actors, I've been on a journey since March making a documentary on mental health in the entertainment industry.

Check out the film's page to find out more info. Ben
10.01.2022 Hey fellow actors, Have you heard of the Arts Wellbeing Collective? It's a new collective of Victorian arts organisations who want to improve mental health in our industry.
