Flynn Matthews

Flynn is a director, writer and actor, and he directed the short film ‘Midpoint’, which is what connected him to the work of stem4. The film explores the mental health of a boy and girl in their early 20s as he wanted to creatively explore his own views of anxiety through the medium of film.

Flynn has said “I’m honoured and thrilled to be an ambassador of stem4. Having experienced anxiety throughout most of my life, I feel it’s so important to spread awareness of not just ways to make it easier, but how common it is for so many young people today. stem4 is providing vital help to those struggling with mental health, which can make drastic differences to how people learn to make anxiety and depression easier. I’m looking forward to doing anything I can to help the charity speak on such important topics, hoping to continue creating less of a stigma on mental health.”
