Podcast appearances and mentions of ben steel

In the final episode of Season 1, our host Sally Fryer ASE speaks with Jenny Hicks and Ben Steel. They tackle the subject of mental health in post-production. To find out more about the Australian Screen Editors Guild check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Mental health issues are significantly higher in the entertainment industry than in the general population. Symptoms of anxiety are ten times higher, depression five times higher, and sleep disorders seven times higher, with five suicide attempts every week. Early in his career, Ben Steel battled his own mental health issues, which led him to create the 2016 documentary "The Show Must Go On." Upon completion, Ben realized there was not enough support for filmmakers, so he founded Screen Well, an organization dedicated to improving the mental health and well-being of the Australian screen industry. 

This is the third Screen Diversity Showcase panel discussion on health and wellbeing, moderated by actor and activist, Saroni Roy. We discuss the biggest mental health challenges facing creatives in the Australian screen industry, and how these challenges have evolved since the pandemic. Ben Steel, Bayley Turner, Pip Edwards and Chris Cheers share practical resources and techniques to assist performers and other artists in securing their wellbeing in such a demanding workplace, and how the field of intimacy is playing such a crucial role in this process.

In the Music Real E100, I talk with Australian Actor, Ben Steel, who is also the Director of the groundbreaking documentary The Show Must Go On which exposed the mental health challenges for so many people in the Entertainment Industry. I've been telling this story since March – giving people a platform to share their voice and story to create a big picture perspective on every single human that has been impacted in our industry through no fault of their own – big or small – front of house or behind the scenes. Ben's story shines a spotlight on the people who give up so much to be a light in the lives of those they entertain. We hear about how lockdown impacted his plans for 2020 as he shares his strategies for healthy mental health during lockdown. https://themusicreal.com.au/2020/07/25/ben-steel-the-show-must-go-on

His latest release Don't Give Up On Me is out now with his team planning to tour Australian later this year. https://themusicreal.com.au/2020/07/07/dean-ray-when-the-tours-are-cancelled/

Interview with Melbourne-based Actor and Filmmaker Ben Steel, who has worked in the entertainment industry his whole life, and most recently completed a 3.5 year journey of creating a brilliant documentary called The Show Must Go On. The documentary was released late last year and is a must-see about mental health and wellbeing in the entertainment industry. Catch it on ABC iView until 4 July 2020. Ben has also worked around the world both in front of and behind the camera, and has many directing and acting credits to his name. We discuss: the elevated statistics in regard to mental health challenges in the entertainment industry, Ben’s personal struggles with mental health, society's lapse in teaching psychological wellbeing, experiencing an identity crisis, the instability of freelance and contract work, unhelpful vs helpful coping strategies, pursuing happiness vs pursuing wholeness, the mind-shift that it can be in some ways a gift to experience depression, the importance of self-kindness, issues with external validation, the importance of being able to maintain perspective, taking control of the things that are in your control, the book Soul Shifts by Barbara De Angelis, the impact of the suicide of Ben’s acting mentor while making the documentary, the need to keep taking small steps and reach out for support, the book Living with a Creative Mind by Julie and Jeffrey Crabtree, reconnecting with surfing, the value in seeking or re-engaging with hobbies and interests, following your own personal take on meditation, the concept of minute meditations, Ben’s super power, and Ben’s message that you are not alone and there is help, support and love for you no matter who or where you are in your life, and that there will always be a way through.

Rob and Simon are joined by Simon's friends Ben and Phil.  Both runners and listeners of the podcast keen to give the boys their opinions on this ever increasingly successful running podcast.

Blessed Assurance | Revelation 21:1-6 What is your story? What is your song? Perhaps that which defines us is greater than our present reality. Elise & Ben Steel, preaching. Sydel McKim, storyteller.

A Clean Fight: How the Early Church Argued | Acts 15:1-29 If you think there was some golden age of yester-year when Christians all got along then you're sorely mistaken. Acts 15 tells the story of the first major argument within the newly formed followers of Christ. This week we look at how the Church learned to disagree and compromise in a way that allowed the fellowship of believers to stay intact during a highly divisive time and how we can carry that same Sprit into our disagreements today. Ben Steel preaching. Daniel Gest, storyteller.

The CHIC Report | Students and leaders who attended the CHIC Conference share their stories about personal growth, deeper connections and a renewed sense of mission.

Then, Ben Steel, director and producer of a documentary on this topic, aptly titled ‘The Show Must Go On’, joins the discussion.
