'In A Box' is a short film created by the DPM Creative Team back in 2018, in collaboration with Wiradjuri community member and hip-hop artist from Forbes NSW, Marley Carr.

This film is an outcome of a 10-day Desert Pea Media storytelling workshop. Co-written by Marley Carr, and starring Marley Carr and Kirra Nean.

This story, alongside a song/music video production came from a group of community members, Elders and young people, who came together as part of an important, facilitated conversation about mental health, suicide and social & emotional wellbeing for local young people.

Part of an ongoing DPM project series called ‘Break It Down – Conversations around Mental Health’ funded by Western NSW Primary Health Network. The program looks to create awareness and conversation around wellbeing – breaking down stigmas and connecting community with local health services.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.

This project featured the musical direction and production of DPM producer Josh Nicholas (aka Hazy).

Special thanks to Project Managers Kaye Mulligan from Yoorana Gunya also a huge thanks to Barry Merrit, Aunty Aileen Allen, Kirra Nean and Marley Carr and all the community members for making us feel welcome, sharing your stories and teaching us about your country and community.
