SEEKING

Partnerships with Mental Health Organisations who want to make an impact in the Men's Mental Heath space.

Our mission to address Men's Mental Health with this intimate, grounded, emotional film focused on platonic male friendship. 

After months of silence, two once-close friends board a long-distance train to attend a lecture on emotional intelligence. What begins as an awkward reunion becomes a deeply personal journey as the men reckon with grief, emotional repression, depression, and the fragile nature of modern male friendship.

Off Track unfolds over a single day aboard a train, interwoven with flashbacks to the months leading up to this pivotal journey. Eli, a guarded organisational psychologist, and Nick, a charismatic but emotionally avoidant literature teacher, once found comfort in each other's friendship through a hiking group and a shared fascination with a self-help author’s ideas on masculinity and vulnerability.

Now, separated by silence, miscommunication, and unspoken pain, they are forced into close proximity — quite literally off track — as their train journey becomes a microcosm of their fractured relationship. Through layered dialogue, moments of unexpected humour, and the quiet symbolism of a passed-down compass, Off Track explores how men say the things they’re too afraid to speak aloud, and how sometimes the journey toward reconnection requires getting a little lost.

Why It Matters: Off Track is a character-driven exploration of emotional intelligence, joy, grief, depression, suicide and modern masculinity. It holds rich festival potential. It was written with deep authenticity and compassion, reflecting the need for emotionally literate narratives that challenge the old model of stoic manhood and starts an honest conversation on the topics of Male Mental Health.
