THAT ONE MAN

An Innerverse Film & Film Buddy Production

Directed by Lee D Barnes

It’s okay to talk...

Many men would attest to understanding this, but that doesn’t make speaking openly about your problems any easier.

Danny works in a small pub on the outskirts of the city. Recovering from tragedy and abuse that followed, he’s doing what he can to rebuild his life. When a new Andy’s Man Club (a UK-based mental health charity) opens across the road, Danny is introduced to a different way of thinking—one he sees as invaluable to those around him yet struggles to apply to himself.

In the weeks following the AMC branch’s opening, we see not only Danny’s journey but also the ripple effects of his struggle on those he interacts with his landlord aunt, the pub regulars, workers from a nearby construction site, and students from the city’s dance college. Danny makes it his mission to help the one man who might need a hand—only to realise that man isn’t just out there somewhere, but also within himself and in the places, he

least expects...

A heartfelt British drama with elements of dark comedy, That One Man explores the cost of staying silent, allowing problems and anxieties to fester within. It examines how unspoken struggles manifest in everyday life. The film itself—made not for profit and in collaboration with Andy’s Man Club—shares Danny’s mission: to extend a hand to someone out there who might need it.
