Mental Health and Horror: A Documentary is a feature-length documentary discussing the positive impact horror films can have. Since launching over 6 months ago, this project has added many voices from horror icons, fans, film critics, historians, directors, writers, and professionals from the mental health world. Here’s an update on the project from Jonathan Barkan-
“Over half a year ago, we broke ground and began production on MENTAL HEALTH & HORROR: A DOCUMENTARY. Since then, we have conducted nearly 30 interviews with people around the world. From horror fans to creators in the genre to mental health professionals who recognize the validity and positive impact that horror can have, our documentary is full of diverse, knowledgeable, passionate voices who have spoken their truths so that others don’t have to feel alone. The work we’ve done so far with MENTAL HEALTH & HORROR: A DOCUMENTARY has exceeded my wildest expectations and the response to our project has been overwhelming in the most beautiful and incredible of ways. There’s still so much to do but I promise you that we’re creating something that will touch the hearts of countless people. Join us and help be a part of something truly special.” -Jonathan Barkan, Director
