Mark Duplass Instagram - I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for most of my life. Sometimes it's just a subtle feeling that something deep inside is wrong. Sometimes it's a little stronger, and it affects my ability to function properly. And sometimes it comes barging through my front door and pins me to the ground for an unknown and seemingly insurmountable amount of time. When I see pictures of myself like this one, I can see the fear and sadness behind the smile. Even at my most "happy" times. But at times like these, when the world is so deeply terrifying and saddening, it's a struggle just to stay on my feet and keep from crashing. And this is from the perspective of someone with years of experience dealing with this and excellent support systems... daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep, the right medication, a great therapist, a family who loves and supports me, the ability to eat healthy foods, etc. So I wanted to take a moment to send my love and support to all of you who may be dealing with something similar. I know we've heard all the platitudes before, but sometimes it's good to hear them again. You are not alone. There is help. This will pass. And if you find yourself descending to someplace new and scary, please text/call/chat "988" and there is someone available 24/7 to help. Sending you all a big blast of resilience, light and love.
Mark Duplass Instagram - I want to thank everyone for your outpouring of support on my mental health post last week. And, more importantly, for sharing all of your stories as well. I read every single response and it felt good to know we belong to this little community together. On my end, I’ve been sticking with my systems (exercise, sleep, therapy, medication, relying on my friends and loved ones, etc ) and am feeling much better. It always seems insurmountable when I’m in it, but I always come through with help. As always, I’m sending strength, light and hope your way. You are not alone. You can get through it. And there’s help just a click away. Text/call/chat 988 for 24/7 help. ā¤ļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - An interesting phase of the mental health journey. My tools are working. I’m feeling much better! But part of this improvement involves a temporary denial of some of the heavy darkness so that I can focus on the light. This feels untruthful, but I need to turn away for a moment so I can get off the floor. But now that I’m on my feet (though still wobbly) can I afford to let the truth of the world’s darkness back in? I hold this image of a door, behind which are life’s hard truths. Sometimes I just need to close it for a bit. I can’t look in there. But now that I’m getting stronger, can I open it a bit? Stand next to it and let it be a part of my days without taking me down? That balance is hard to find. That’s what I’m working on. How much can I open that door, honor the truth of what’s behind it, and still hold the light.

I am sending you all a ten foot wave of hope. If you need help, it’s a click away. Call/text 988 to speak with someone 24/7. ā¤ļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - I am happy to announce the return of Chip and Alex. And half of a waffle. September 13!
Mark Duplass Instagram - So… I am on feet. I had a really great week. I assume my systems are paying off (diet, sleep, exercise, mindfulness, etc). But sometimes these episodes have their own rhythms and simply run their course. I can’t really say for certain what changed, but I know that I am grateful to be feeling better. 

An interesting notion that can come with feeling better, at least for me, is a little bit of guilt. So I want to take a moment to say to myself (and to you) that none of us should feel guilty for the times we feel awesome. And none of us should feel ashamed for the times we’re feeling off. In some ways, depression and anxiety are like having a bad back… sometimes it makes perfect sense why your back goes it, but other times it just seems to crash for no reason at all. Either way, it’s not your fault. It’s a condition. And it can be managed. And the more you deal with it honestly and openly, the better you’ll get at the whole thing.

So whether you’re feeling high or low or somewhere in between, I hope you can allow yourself the space to feel where you’re at. Embrace it. Know that it’s not forever. And find that bite of joy and hope to carry you through to tomorrow.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Today I am feeling a little sad. Can I say that and be okay with it? And not spend the day in fear that this small sadness will grow into a sadness monster that might take me down? Maybe I can even be grateful for the ability to hold this sadness (not run from it) and place it next to some hope I've been nurturing. And just let them co-mingle for a bit, like nervous strangers at a dinner party. And just kinda see what happens. Because, as many of you know, sadness is not the same thing as depression. Sadness is a feeling I'm grateful to feel. Sadness we can work with. 

So yeah. I’m a little sad. And a little hopeful. That’s… pretty good. 

How are you feeling today?
Mark Duplass Instagram - Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m losing things. They’re not big things, but they add up. I have intermittent vertigo, so I’ll probably never ride a rollercoaster again. I have mental health and stomach issues that have taken the joy of drinking alcohol from me. And my gut reaction to this kind of loss is pretty simple… I hate it. It makes me feel old, weak, and limited. And sad.

But, I’m always looking for ways to reframe those gut reactions. So I’ve been thinking about how in other aspects of my life, having limitless choices hasn’t always brought me more happiness. I can honestly say I was happier choosing from a limited selection of DVD’s at the video store in the 90’s than surfing the endless options on Netflix today. The video store would curate for me. And I loved it.

So now I’m trying to look at those ā€œlossesā€ as the universe (or maybe even my subconscious) curating a smaller list of life choices that are actually more suited for me and my happiness. And that as life goes on, maybe we’re continually honing closer in on the things that really matter. And in this way we don’t have to live in constant FOMO of all the things we aren’t doing (because they are no longer possible) and we can  focus instead on the handful of wonderful options at our feet.

Maybe it’s a rationalization, but I’m not above that :)

I hope you are all feeling as well as can be expected. Or, maybe, just a little bit better than that.

As always, I’m sending a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself headed somewhere new and scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24/7.

Mark Duplass Instagram - Hi. 

How are you?

I have been enjoying a time of relative calm, ease and peace. I wish I could give you the formula that brought it to me. I’m keeping up with my systems (exercise, good sleep, meditation, consistent with my meds, healthy eating, very little alcohol, etc) but I haven’t been perfect. Still, I’m feeling really good. And I’m so grateful. I’m trying not to take it for granted when I have a string of ā€œgood days.ā€ I try to remember those times when I wake up and can barely get out of bed. And I’m trying to stay right here in this moment and enjoy every bit of it. 

I hope this note finds you all doing well. If it doesn’t, I hope you feel better soon. Either way, I invite you all to leave a comment on what’s happening with you. I promise to read it. And I bet others will too. 

As always, sending you a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself sinking to someplace new, or scary, contact @988lifeline for 24 hour assistance.

Mark Duplass Instagram - This is my daughter Ora. She turns 16 today. I’ve never wanted to post pictures of my kids on here for all the reasons you can probably understand. But this girl is a goddamn force and she can’t be held back. Funny, kind, sensitive, creative, gifted, and razor sharp. Truly the best of what @katieaselton and I could possibly offer. 

We have big plans for the next few years and I can’t wait for you all to get to know this beautiful, electric tornado. ā¤ļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - Lately, I’ve been making an effort to talk about it more. I’m not letting it take over my life. It doesn’t have to define me. And I don’t want to constantly complain to my family and friends. But I do find it helpful to be honest about where I’m at with my struggles. Just saying the words out loud that I’m feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted today… it can be really helpful.

Do you have someone to talk to? Do you have a place to put those feelings? I’d like to offer you the chance to respond here with what’s going on with you if you’d like. And I promise I will read every one of them. 

As always, sending you a giant wave of light, health, and hope. And if you are getting to a scary point, please contact @988lifeline. Text/chat/call anytime and there’s someone there for you.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Hello. 

My name is Peachfuzz.
Mark Duplass Instagram - How’s your mental health today? 

Things are turning for me and I’m actually doing really well. The systems are working and I’m improving. But, sometimes it’s hard for to me admit and embrace the times I feel truly great. There’s some odd version of survivors guilt… am I gloating if I talk about the good times, too? Lately I’m trying to own it all and be grateful. And, in some way, use the positive momentum to build up reserves of strength and hope for myself and for those in my community who also suffer. Like riding a wave of positivity that can hopefully carry me through some of the harder times. 

I hope you are doing okay. If not, take it from someone who was recently hurting… this can really turn around and, sometimes, quite quickly. Hang in there. You’re not alone. And, as always, text/call/chat 988 if you need help immediately. They’re available 24-7. ā¤ļøāœŒļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - At the beginning of the pandemic, I started writing a story. It was about a 16 year old girl who leaves behind the trappings of modern life to seek out a simpler, more deliberate life in the woods. It turned into a 30 minute script. Then another. Then another. I couldn’t stop writing. Eventually I had written 8 episodes, the entire first season of my new, favorite show. A show for and about young adults. About the way life could be if we simplified things. And then I realized that our title character PENELOPE was not just a teenaged girl. She was all of us, trying to find a peace, simplicity, and happiness that we’ve lost. I knew when I brought the scripts to the buyers that there would be a bidding war. 

But there wasn’t. No one would give us the money to make it. 

So I thought to myself… I’ve financed my own films before. Why can’t I do it with TV?

And that’s what I did. And I asked my BIOSPHERE co-creator (and head of Duplass Brothers Productions) @meleslyn to direct all the episodes. 

And now we’re premiering the show at Sundance next month. And I am so grateful to be in this moment. So desperate and excited to bring this show to the world. 

Here is the first image of possibly the most important thing I’ve made…

PENELOPE
Mark Duplass Instagram - This is Murphy. He’s about 10 weeks old and he just joined our family. He loves Dave Brubeck era jazz, playing with his new friend Blue, and escaping anything that contains him. As a rescue pup, he carries that appreciation of every small thing… food, soft bed, naps in the sun. Today I’m going to let him inspire me. I am going to remind myself that we are all lucky to be here, at all. And when I get home from work I’m going to snuggle the shit out of him.

Mark Duplass Instagram - Okay. Time to get proactive.

This Sunday at 4pm pt/7pm et I’ll be going live on @instagram with my fantastic partners at @twloha to talk all things mental health. We’ll have some surprises and also be officially launching a fundraiser for mental health scholarships. I’m matching the first $10k so please join us and spread the word. 

As always, sending you a giant wave of hope.
Mark Duplass Instagram - I'm not sure all these options are good for me. The sheer amount of things I can do/see/experience/consume on a daily bases has increased drastically in my lifetime, and I don’t think it’s made me happier. 

When I look back at some of the most wonderful moments in my life, they were surprisingly super small. The quiet of a long winter hike and the delayed gratification of eating my homemade 62 cent peanut butter and jelly sandwich once I reach the summit. Teaching my daughter how to play that dumb Monopoly card game and spending two hours trying to master it while listening to The Weepies. Sitting in my front yard with my dog, my 2nd coffee, and talking to a new neighbor about something unremarkable. And the gentle smiles we share, acknowledging that this sort of meandering neighborly chit chat is a relic we both miss.

This epically small stuff is the easiest to access, and it’s really lifting me up right now. I hope it might do something similar for you. ā¤ļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - I tried to be as open and honest as I could be. It's not perfect, and it's not everything, but it's a good summation of my mental health journey so far. And some of the tools I’ve developed to cope. And how they sometimes work and sometimes don’t. And how this will likely be with me on and off for the rest of my life. And how I’m learning to accept that and maybe even see some silver linings on the good days. 

If you (or someone you know) are struggling, I hope you find something useful in here.

Lotsa love. ā¤ļøāœŒļø

Mark Duplass Instagram - This is a big one for me. 

My oldest daughter Ora is a natural born artist. She’s been singing harmonies from her car seat since she was 3. We’ve been playing music together and making dumb videos together her whole life. 

And now she’s 16. So we decided to make a short film. I wrote something for us to act in together that @katieaselton could direct. Something about fathers, teenaged daughters, mental health. But with Christmas songs and giggles, too. We shot up at our cabin in Mt Baldy and we agreed we wouldn’t show anyone if it stunk. 

But it didn’t! 

And now we’re premiering OH CHRISTMAS TREE at the @tribecafilmfestival in June. And I can’t believe that I’ve been so fortunate to spend my life making art with the people I love…. my wife, my brother, and now with oldest my daughter, with whom it seems I was just yesterday playing @coldplay’s YELLOW on stage at her 2nd grade school fair.

So at the risk of sounding corny, I am so proud to introduce you to @ora_duplass. 

More soon. So much more…

Mark Duplass Instagram - I’ve been thinking about next year. And what I want to focus on. And I keep coming back to this word.

Balance.

It’s the least exciting, least sexy of options. 

The funny thing is, even though I know it works for me, when I’m in a state of desperation (or inspiration) I often find myself ignoring it completely and searching the extremes for answers. 

ā€œI need more nature in my life… I’ll hike the entire Appalachian Trail!ā€

ā€œI’ve become too dependent on technology… I’m gonna switch to a flip phone.ā€

ā€œWork is stressful… maybe I should retire early and try something else.ā€

But the somewhat boring-sounding truth is, sometimes one overnight in the woods is all I need to reset myself. Maybe I should just put my phone down for the last few hours before bedtime. Or find a slightly different lane inside my current career.

The truth is, I’m at my happiest when a day is full of bits and bobs of all the things I love and need. And when I translate that microcosm to a week, a month, a year… I tend to be much happier. A life raft of sorts forms around me. Not too heavy or too light in any of my life’s interests or directions.

It doesn’t sound all that exciting on paper. But as a person who deals with mental instability, I’m not going for big highs. I’m going for peace. I want to be in the middle. I want to be Goldilocks.

How are you doing? Sending you light and big, big waves of hope. (Also, a reminder that @twloha and @betterhelp are offering free therapy to any of you who need it. Still a few spots left at my links in bio.)
Mark Duplass Instagram - You can stream all 10 episodes of THE MORNING SHOW right now on @appletv. This is a fun one. In particular, there's this up and coming thespian named @jenniferaniston you should keep your eye on. She stole a few scenes from me. I hate her for it.
Mark Duplass Instagram - After the holiday madness, Katie and I try to go away for a few quiet days at the beginning of each year. These are special times for us. We don’t do much. Walk, talk, sit and look at some simple aspect of nature. And we think about last year and what we’d like this year to be.

This year, I am having this vision of my ā€œwoogā€ (that special anxiety/depression combination I know so well) as a sort of superpower. Yes, it’s a heavy load to carry. No, I wouldn’t have chosen it for myself. But it has genuinely afforded me some wonderful things. A few off the top of my head:

It forces me to drop deeply into myself and be 100% present. My woogie days don’t fly by unnoticed. That’s a true gift.

It affords me a deeper sense of empathy for anyone I meet who is suffering.

It makes me extra raw and vulnerable, which has directly informed who I am as an artist and a human.

So I’m going to try to co-exist with my woog a bit more peacefully this year. Still be smart and vigilant with my systems (good sleep, proper medication, therapy, clean diet, etc). But I’m going to try to see my woogie visitor as less of my direct nemesis and more of a frenemy. And see what happens.

Mark Duplass Instagram - I’m always questioning how hard I should fight anxiety and depression when it comes, and how much I should try to accept it and simply move through it. It’s not a simple answer. But lately I’ve been holding a helpful image.

A river.

I’m on a wide river, fast flowing current, impenetrably high stone walls on either side. This is when my mental health is at its worst. It feels hopeless. All I can think to do is swim against the current and try not to drown. But it’s exhausting, and I get nowhere.

But then I try to remind myself that this river will likely change as it goes along. There will be times when the current slows. The river narrows. There may be some fallen tree trunks lodged in the middle where I can hang on for a moment to take a breather.

So I change my tactic. I stop fighting the current. I flip on my back, look up, and start to float. And have faith that I’ll find some relief when the river brings me the opportunity. And maybe it’ll narrow and the stone walls will recede, and there might even be a nice sandy beach that I can reach. 

And I realize that everything is a phase. And that maybe I just need to ride the river best I can and keep my eyes open for the places on the shore to rest, breathe, and lay in the sun. And be thankful for those moments.

Sending big love. And relentless storms of hope. 

If you find yourself headed somewhere scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24-7.
Mark Duplass Instagram - She asked me if we could dress up together for Halloween. I said...

"Yes, chef."
Mark Duplass Instagram - The holidays can be so wonderful for some, and they can be crushing for others. If you have the chance to include someone who needs it, please consider it. If you're hurting, please know that you are not alone. And if you need help immediately, call/text/chat "988" @988lifeline 24-7. Side note: since our last IG live I've learned a lot from you all about what's missing in the larger mental health conversation and access to resources. I'm working on some partnerships to help address some of this that I'll be sharing soon. Other side note: please ignore my weird-ass dark hair in this photo. I dyed it for an amazing acting gig (which I'll also let you know more about soon). New instagram live coming shortly to discuss all. Hang in there, everyone!
Mark Duplass Instagram - This is one of my daughter @itsoraduplass’ new headshots. Because she is an actor at the beginning of her career. And that means she is no longer the baby I need to endlessly bounce on a large ball while singing @themagfields THE BOOK OF LOVE to get her to sleep. Life is… bonkers. 

Also, fun update on our short film OH CHRISTMAS TREE. After we premiere at @tribecafilmfestival in early June we’ll screen next at @nantucketfilmfestival, where @jayduplass and @katieaselton showed one of our early short films 20 years ago. 

Because life is bonkers.

Mark Duplass Instagram - Here’s my first instagram live in an attempt to provide a space to talk all things mental health. A bit of a mess… but a start! I’ll set up another one soon and try to dig into some specific questions that came up today. Until then, sending you all shit tons of light.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Shout out to all the musicians who help me through the harder times. Sometimes you pick me up and block out the dark with a blast of inspired light. Sometimes you come sit next to me, put your hand on my back, and say ā€œHi. I’m sad, too.ā€ Sometimes it’s a mix of both (my favorite). I appreciate you all so much. 

Just naming a few off the top of my head that are in current rotation…

The Milk Carton Kids
Haley Heynderickx
Julianna Barwick
Adrianne Lenker

Between the weird weather, limited daylight, and slower energy, it can be a strange time. It’s in these moments (and all year round, really) that we should check in on one another. We should all learn how to spot the warning signs for suicide so we can help our friends, family, and ourselves if it’s ever necessary. Research shows no one takes their life for a single reason. They might show signs of suicidal ideation through talk, behavior, and/or mood.

Mark Duplass Instagram - Happy Birthday to me.
Mark Duplass Instagram - A true story (warning, a little corny).

I have been on set more than usual lately. Working very hard, long hours. The exhaustion is setting in. And because I’m a human being, the ā€œgrass is greenerā€ mentality has started to rear its head. I’ve been thinking how much I miss the quiet, simple days of camping and backpacking in nature. And how once I get back to that lifestyle, then I’ll be happy! A way of thinking that we all know is… not helpful. 

So this past week I’ve tried a different approach. When I can, I sit in my backyard. It’s not the Appalachian Trail by any means. But it’s pretty quiet and there are nice olive trees and some rosemary. Little birds and squirrels. And I try to bring my backpacker’s mindset to this seemingly subpar microcosm of the woods I love so much. And… it’s kinda working. 

And then, this morning, as I was drinking my coffee and looking at nothing in particular. A gorgeous multi-colored hawk flew over my yard and landed in a nearby tree. The kind of hawk I normally only see once I’m deep in the trails. And he just sat there and hung out with me for a little bit. 

As always, if you find yourself heading someplace scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24 hours a day. You belong here. There’s a way forward.
Mark Duplass Instagram - ā€œI think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I'm not happy. I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel.ā€

The best part of my birthday was snuggling with my family and watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special. We talked about the bittersweet nature of the holidays. About embracing the paradoxical sadness and joy of it all. It was so comforting to accept it all.

How are you all doing as we approach the holidays? 

Let’s catch up if you’re free tmrw. I’ll be live here Sunday December 10 at 7pm et/4pm pt to talk all things mental health. I’ll also have some fun surprises and resources from the fine folks at @twloha and @betterhelp. 

Hope you are all hanging in there, my dudes. ā¤ļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - Happy Birthday to the Katie-est of all. The love of my life. The goddamn greatest. This person showed me that a life full of giggles, romance and fun was possible. Here’s to another year.
Mark Duplass Instagram - In the last last year we've rescued two pups. They have changed our lives in the best way. There are so many studies of how rescue dogs help us as much as we help them. I can't think of a better thing to do for them and ourselves in such turbulent times. #rescuedogs #mentalhealth
Mark Duplass Instagram - Money can’t buy happiness. 

But it can buy rescue dogs. 

For most of my life I have been allergic to dogs. And so I was never a ā€œdog person.ā€ But one day we decided to try it anyway and we adopted Blue (the big one). I’ll never forget when I told my incredible, wise friend @jenniferaniston that I was adopting a dog. She looked me in the eye with a gentle, knowing smile and said…

ā€œLet her teach you.ā€

So that’s what I’ve been doing. 

And then we got Murphy (the smaller one). 

And I can’t describe the joy, fun, love and snuggles these pups have brought into our home. 

Rescue a pup. 

They’ll rescue you right back.
Mark Duplass Instagram - We have been renewed! Thank you everyone for watching our little show that could.
Mark Duplass Instagram - The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.
Mark Duplass Instagram - LA: There's this new place in town. It's got a video store, like we used to do in the 90's. With obscure international/indie stuff you can't find anywhere. And also? Two movie theaters! Showing your favorite retro titles and new indies. Come see the brand new iteration of... VIDIOTS! Link in bio. https://vidiotsfoundation.org

Mark Duplass Instagram - Last year, during the Hollywood strikes, @ifcfilms released @meleslyn’s and my film BIOSPHERE. It was a project years in the making. It started with a small idea of two men running around an enclosed, post-apocalyptic biodome, arguing about Super Mario Brothers. I brought it to my long time collaborator Mel Eslyn, and it turned into so much more… #nospoilers

The sad part was, we weren’t able to go out and promote the film due to the limitations of the strike. So we went in and out of theaters quickly. And very few people actually saw the film. Which was heartbreaking. But, like all good Hollywood stories, here comes the twist…

As of today we are AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON @hulu! And it feels like this is truly the release of the film. And you can stream it for free this weekend. It’s daring, bold, a little strange, and full of big humor and heart. And the incomparable @sterlingkbrown delivers what I think is his best performance.

So find someone you love (or kinda like) and snuggle up with BIOSPHERE this weekend!
Mark Duplass Instagram - My love. Goddamn. I am so lucky.
Mark Duplass Instagram - ā€œThere is nothing to fear… but fear itself.ā€

I think FDR had a different context in mind, but this quote sticks with me as it relates to mental health. As those of you have been in the shit can likely attest to, you can become afraid… of becoming afraid. You know what anxiety and depression have done to you in the past. You fear its return, which can seemingly come out of nowhere sometimes. So, like a trauma victim, sometimes even the slightest hint of nerves or sadness can trigger that deeper fear… ā€œOh no. Is it coming for me?ā€

I know this feeling all too well. But I’m getting tired of it. So today, I’m choosing to be like Kevin in Home Alone when he goes down into the basement and comes upon that previously terrifying furnace. I’m gonna look it in the eye, recognize it for what it is, and say what Kevin so eloquently said…

ā€œShut up.ā€

And I think that’s okay. There’s a time to validate those fears. To let them in and reckon with them. But sometimes those fears don’t deserve that attention. They are just irrational relics from our past that no longer serve us. Sometimes I can just tell them to shut up. And go find something more enjoyable to do with my day. 

That’s what I’m gonna try to do today. 

As always, sending you a 100 foot wave of hope and light. If you are having a particularly scary moment, @988lifeline is always a text/chat/phone call away.
Mark Duplass Instagram - For those of you following the PENELOPE saga… we’ve found our US home in @netflix. I can’t believe I was writing these scripts almost four years ago. I can’t believe we’re about to bring this into the world. This story is deeply special to me. I cannot wait for you all to see it. We’ll have more news on the international portion of the release as it comes. ā¤ļøāœŒļø

Mark Duplass Instagram - This is a lovely honor. 

But my favorite part of the news this morning was chatting with my fellow nominees. And, almost to a person, the question has changed from the previous years’ ā€œcongrats aren’t you so excitedā€ to ā€œcongrats… how are you?ā€

It’s hard right now. For almost all of us. 

Please take care of yourselves and each other. 

If things become too overwhelming or if you feel yourself heading somewhere new and scary, text/call/chat @988lifeline 24-7. 

Sending you all love, light, and that 100 foot wave of hope.
Mark Duplass Instagram - I’m not even going to try to explain this one…
Mark Duplass Instagram - From the early days of the pandemic. This seemed totally normal to me at the time.
Mark Duplass Instagram - 🐺

Mark Duplass Instagram - A little teaser...
Mark Duplass Instagram - A dog in the sun. 

I set so many lofty goals for myself. Not a bad thing, but it comes with a lot of stress, pressure, ups and downs. A dynamic and interesting way to live. But at times… exhausting. 

So today I’m going to follow the example of my friend and teacher Blue the dog. I’m going to try to be thankful for the smallest of things. A nice meal. A hug from my kids. A gentle walk in the crisp air. Some time with my book and a decaf coffee. A movie with friends. Today I’m going to be a dog in the sun. And try to reach the place where that’s enough to make it a ā€œgreat day.ā€

Sending you all love, light, and a big-ass wave of hope.

Mark Duplass Instagram - This sweet girl is a rescue pup. 

She is so happy with the simplest comforts… food, naps, snuggles, playtime. 

She has taught me so much. Given me so much. 

If you’re missing a little something in your life, please consider pet adoption. 

One of the best decisions @katieaselton and I ever made.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Thank you everyone for joining our conversation on mental health. 

We still have spots for free online therapy available through the amazing folks at @betterhelp. And we are still raising funds for therapy scholarships through @twloha. I’m matching every dollar up to $10,000 so please share this around and let’s get everyone they help they need. 

A direct link for these resources is in my bio:

Mark Duplass Instagram - Tuesday November 7 at 4pm pacific time I’ll be live on Instagram if you want to talk mental health. This is just an informal experiment to share stories, tips, frustrations, or simply to hold space for anyone who needs it. As always, if you need help immediately pls text/call/chat 988 for 24-7 assistance.
Mark Duplass Instagram - It's only been 5 days since BIOSPHERE has been released and I'm already starting to see plot spoilers pop up online. 

Please do yourself a favor and avoid reading about it before you watch. It's so much more fun to have the experience going in cold. Trust me on this one. šŸ¤“ā™„ļø
Mark Duplass Instagram - Okay, I know I won't shut up about BIOSPHERE opening this weekend. But I had the chance to see PAST LIVES last night and it knocked me out. Favorite movie of the year so far. By a lot. Don't miss it.
Mark Duplass Instagram - BIOSPHERE, to me, is…

Funny
Heartfelt
Strange
Tender
Absurd
Hopeful

It is also a movie. A movie we made that is very important to me. It came out in a time when we weren’t talking about our movies… and now you have a chance to see it for free!

Streaming now on @amcplus (if you don’t already have it they do a free trial). 

As always, sending light and a ten foot wave of hope.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Duplass Brothers Productions, circa 1978.

An enormous part of who I am (maybe the biggest) is my outsized confidence. It came from loving parents who made me feel safe. And it came from a big brother like Jay, who always looked at me like this. Enjoying me, making me feel loved, funny, smart, worthwhile. It’s the greatest gift imaginable. I think about it daily. And I think about what I can do to give this gift, which was so generously given to me, to others that might need it.

Love you @jayduplass.

TWLOHA and @markduplass will be going live this Sunday, December 10th to have an honest conversation about depression and anxiety—all while fundraising for mental health resources. We are so stoked to have this conversation together all while raising funds that will go directly toward our Treatment   Recovery Scholarship.

Mark your calendars. We’ll see you right here on Instagram, December 10th at 7:00 pm ET.

Mark Duplass Instagram - ā€œSomebody Somewhereā€ isn’t a marquee show that overtakes your Twitter feed Sunday night and your conversations on Monday; instead, it’s the kind of series buoyed by word of mouth and the sheer wonder that something like this exists — and exists on HBO." - THE PLAYLIST
Mark Duplass Instagram - I love this person.
Mark Duplass Instagram - We’ve all seen the rise of unique, excellent storytelling in TV over the last ten years. It’s been exciting. But now it’s going away. 

The peak TV bubble has burst and the corporations are doing their thing… cutting, merging, and focusing on the big ticket shows to hold onto their subscribers. That means the medium to small shows are going to die unless we do something. 

Join us at @sxsw and help us usher in a new way of making TV. Let’s do what indie film did for the film industry 30-40 years ago. Let’s foster those unique voices and stories that the industry is ignoring… and let’s prove to them audiences want these stories. That it’s not just good for the world, it’s also good business.

In the meantime, please consider spreading the word on his family’s @gofundme page and donating if you are able (link in bio). Sending love and light to you all. If you don’t know Ady and his story, look him up. Let him inspire you.

Mark Duplass - 126.8K Likes - I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for most of my life. Sometimes it's just a subtle feeling that something deep inside is wrong. Sometimes it's a little stronger, and it affects my ability to function properly. And sometimes it comes barging through my front door and pins me to the ground for an unknown and seemingly insurmountable amount of time. When I see pictures of myself like this one, I can see the fear and sadness behind the smile. Even at my most "happy" times. But at times like these, when the world is so deeply terrifying and saddening, it's a struggle just to stay on my feet and keep from crashing. And this is from the perspective of someone with years of experience dealing with this and excellent support systems... daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep, the right medication, a great therapist, a family who loves and supports me, the ability to eat healthy foods, etc. So I wanted to take a moment to send my love and support to all of you who may be dealing with something similar. I know we've heard all the platitudes before, but sometimes it's good to hear them again. You are not alone. There is help. This will pass. And if you find yourself descending to someplace new and scary, please text/call/chat "988" and there is someone available 24/7 to help. Sending you all a big blast of resilience, light and love.

But at times like these, when the world is so deeply terrifying and saddening, it’s a struggle just to stay on my feet and keep from crashing. And this is from the perspective of someone with years of experience dealing with this and excellent support systems… daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep, the right medication, a great therapist, a family who loves and supports me, the ability to eat healthy foods, etc. So I wanted to take a moment to send my love and support to all of you who may be dealing with something similar. I know we’ve heard all the platitudes before, but sometimes it’s good to hear them again. You are not alone. There is help. This will pass. And if you find yourself descending to someplace new and scary, please text/call/chat “988” and there is someone available 24/7 to help. Sending you all a big blast of resilience, light and love.

Mark Duplass - 60.8K Likes - I want to thank everyone for your outpouring of support on my mental health post last week. And, more importantly, for sharing all of your stories as well. I read every single response and it felt good to know we belong to this little community together. On my end, I’ve been sticking with my systems (exercise, sleep, therapy, medication, relying on my friends and loved ones, etc ) and am feeling much better. It always seems insurmountable when I’m in it, but I always come through with help. As always, I’m sending strength, light and hope your way. You are not alone. You can get through it.

Mark Duplass - 32.2K Likes - An interesting phase of the mental health journey. My tools are working. I’m feeling much better! But part of this improvement involves a temporary denial of some of the heavy darkness so that I can focus on the light. This feels untruthful, but I need to turn away for a moment so I can get off the floor. But now that I’m on my feet (though still wobbly) can I afford to let the truth of the world’s darkness back in? I hold this image of a door, behind which are life’s hard truths. Sometimes I just need to close it for a bit. I can’t look in there. But now that I’m getting stronger, can I open it a bit? Stand next to it and let it be a part of my days without taking me down? That balance is hard to find. That’s what I’m working on. How much can I open that door, honor the truth of what’s behind it, and still hold the light.

I am sending you all a ten foot wave of hope. If you need help, it’s a click away. Call/text 988 to speak with someone 24/7. ā¤ļø

Mark Duplass - 23.3K Likes - So… I am on feet. I had a really great week. I assume my systems are paying off (diet, sleep, exercise, mindfulness, etc). But sometimes these episodes have their own rhythms and simply run their course. I can’t really say for certain what changed, but I know that I am grateful to be feeling better. 

An interesting notion that can come with feeling better, at least for me, is a little bit of guilt. So I want to take a moment to say to myself (and to you) that none of us should feel guilty for the times we feel awesome. And none of us should feel ashamed for the times we’re feeling off. In some ways, depression and anxiety are like having a bad back… sometimes it makes perfect sense why your back goes it, but other times it just seems to crash for no reason at all. Either way, it’s not your fault. It’s a condition. And it can be managed. And the more you deal with it honestly and openly, the better you’ll get at the whole thing.

So whether you’re feeling high or low or somewhere in between, I hope you can allow yourself the space to feel where you’re at. Embrace it. Know that it’s not forever. And find that bite of joy and hope to carry you through to tomorrow.

Mark Duplass - 21.6K Likes - Today I am feeling a little sad. Can I say that and be okay with it? And not spend the day in fear that this small sadness will grow into a sadness monster that might take me down? Maybe I can even be grateful for the ability to hold this sadness (not run from it) and place it next to some hope I've been nurturing. And just let them co-mingle for a bit, like nervous strangers at a dinner party. And just kinda see what happens. Because, as many of you know, sadness is not the same thing as depression. Sadness is a feeling I'm grateful to feel. Sadness we can work with. 

So yeah. I’m a little sad. And a little hopeful. That’s… pretty good. 

How are you feeling today?

Mark Duplass - 16.6K Likes - Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m losing things. They’re not big things, but they add up. I have intermittent vertigo, so I’ll probably never ride a rollercoaster again. I have mental health and stomach issues that have taken the joy of drinking alcohol from me. And my gut reaction to this kind of loss is pretty simple… I hate it. It makes me feel old, weak, and limited. And sad.

But, I’m always looking for ways to reframe those gut reactions. So I’ve been thinking about how in other aspects of my life, having limitless choices hasn’t always brought me more happiness. I can honestly say I was happier choosing from a limited selection of DVD’s at the video store in the 90’s than surfing the endless options on Netflix today. The video store would curate for me. And I loved it.

So now I’m trying to look at those ā€œlossesā€ as the universe (or maybe even my subconscious) curating a smaller list of life choices that are actually more suited for me and my happiness. And that as life goes on, maybe we’re continually honing closer in on the things that really matter. And in this way we don’t have to live in constant FOMO of all the things we aren’t doing (because they are no longer possible) and we can  focus instead on the handful of wonderful options at our feet.

Maybe it’s a rationalization, but I’m not above that :)

I hope you are all feeling as well as can be expected. Or, maybe, just a little bit better than that.

As always, I’m sending a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself headed somewhere new and scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24/7.

How are you?

I have been enjoying a time of relative calm, ease and peace. I wish I could give you the formula that brought it to me. I’m keeping up with my systems (exercise, good sleep, meditation, consistent with my meds, healthy eating, very little alcohol, etc) but I haven’t been perfect. Still, I’m feeling really good. And I’m so grateful. I’m trying not to take it for granted when I have a string of ā€œgood days.ā€ I try to remember those times when I wake up and can barely get out of bed. And I’m trying to stay right here in this moment and enjoy every bit of it. 

I hope this note finds you all doing well. If it doesn’t, I hope you feel better soon. Either way, I invite you all to leave a comment on what’s happening with you. I promise to read it. And I bet others will too. 

As always, sending you a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself sinking to someplace new, or scary, contact @988lifeline for 24 hour assistance.

Mark Duplass - 15.9K Likes - Lately, I’ve been making an effort to talk about it more. I’m not letting it take over my life. It doesn’t have to define me. And I don’t want to constantly complain to my family and friends. But I do find it helpful to be honest about where I’m at with my struggles. Just saying the words out loud that I’m feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted today… it can be really helpful.

Do you have someone to talk to? Do you have a place to put those feelings? I’d like to offer you the chance to respond here with what’s going on with you if you’d like. And I promise I will read every one of them.

Things are turning for me and I’m actually doing really well. The systems are working and I’m improving. But, sometimes it’s hard for to me admit and embrace the times I feel truly great. There’s some odd version of survivors guilt… am I gloating if I talk about the good times, too? Lately I’m trying to own it all and be grateful. And, in some way, use the positive momentum to build up reserves of strength and hope for myself and for those in my community who also suffer. Like riding a wave of positivity that can hopefully carry me through some of the harder times. 

I hope you are doing okay. If not, take it from someone who was recently hurting… this can really turn around and, sometimes, quite quickly. Hang in there. You’re not alone. And, as always, text/call/chat 988 if you need help immediately. They’re available 24-7. ā¤ļøāœŒļø

Mark Duplass - 14.8K Likes - At the beginning of the pandemic, I started writing a story. It was about a 16 year old girl who leaves behind the trappings of modern life to seek out a simpler, more deliberate life in the woods. It turned into a 30 minute script. Then another. Then another. I couldn’t stop writing. Eventually I had written 8 episodes, the entire first season of my new, favorite show. A show for and about young adults. About the way life could be if we simplified things. And then I realized that our title character PENELOPE was not just a teenaged girl. She was all of us, trying to find a peace, simplicity, and happiness that we’ve lost. I knew when I brought the scripts to the buyers that there would be a bidding war. 

But there wasn’t. No one would give us the money to make it. 

So I thought to myself… I’ve financed my own films before. Why can’t I do it with TV?

And that’s what I did. And I asked my BIOSPHERE co-creator (and head of Duplass Brothers Productions) @meleslyn to direct all the episodes. 

And now we’re premiering the show at Sundance next month. And I am so grateful to be in this moment. So desperate and excited to bring this show to the world. 

Here is the first image of possibly the most important thing I’ve made…

Mark Duplass - 13.1K Likes - I'm not sure all these options are good for me. The sheer amount of things I can do/see/experience/consume on a daily bases has increased drastically in my lifetime, and I don’t think it’s made me happier. 

When I look back at some of the most wonderful moments in my life, they were surprisingly super small. The quiet of a long winter hike and the delayed gratification of eating my homemade 62 cent peanut butter and jelly sandwich once I reach the summit. Teaching my daughter how to play that dumb Monopoly card game and spending two hours trying to master it while listening to The Weepies. Sitting in my front yard with my dog, my 2nd coffee, and talking to a new neighbor about something unremarkable. And the gentle smiles we share, acknowledging that this sort of meandering neighborly chit chat is a relic we both miss.

This epically small stuff is the easiest to access, and it’s really lifting me up right now. I hope it might do something similar for you. ā¤ļø

Mark Duplass - 12.6K Likes - This is a big one for me. 

My oldest daughter Ora is a natural born artist. She’s been singing harmonies from her car seat since she was 3. We’ve been playing music together and making dumb videos together her whole life. 

And now she’s 16. So we decided to make a short film. I wrote something for us to act in together that @katieaselton could direct. Something about fathers, teenaged daughters, mental health. But with Christmas songs and giggles, too. We shot up at our cabin in Mt Baldy and we agreed we wouldn’t show anyone if it stunk. 

But it didn’t! 

And now we’re premiering OH CHRISTMAS TREE at the @tribecafilmfestival in June. And I can’t believe that I’ve been so fortunate to spend my life making art with the people I love…. my wife, my brother, and now with oldest my daughter, with whom it seems I was just yesterday playing @coldplay’s YELLOW on stage at her 2nd grade school fair.

So at the risk of sounding corny, I am so proud to introduce you to @ora_duplass. 

More soon. So much more…

I wrote something for us to act in together that @katieaselton could direct. Something about fathers, teenaged daughters, mental health. But with Christmas songs and giggles, too. We shot up at our cabin in Mt Baldy and we agreed we wouldn’t show anyone if it stunk. But it didn’t! And now we’re premiering OH CHRISTMAS TREE at the @tribecafilmfestival in June. And I can’t believe that I’ve been so fortunate to spend my life making art with the people I love…. my wife, my brother, and now with oldest my daughter, with whom it seems I was just yesterday playing @coldplay’s YELLOW on stage at her 2nd grade school fair.

Mark Duplass - 12.2K Likes - I’ve been thinking about next year. And what I want to focus on. And I keep coming back to this word.

Balance.

It’s the least exciting, least sexy of options. 

The funny thing is, even though I know it works for me, when I’m in a state of desperation (or inspiration) I often find myself ignoring it completely and searching the extremes for answers. 

ā€œI need more nature in my life… I’ll hike the entire Appalachian Trail!ā€

ā€œI’ve become too dependent on technology… I’m gonna switch to a flip phone.ā€

ā€œWork is stressful… maybe I should retire early and try something else.ā€

But the somewhat boring-sounding truth is, sometimes one overnight in the woods is all I need to reset myself. Maybe I should just put my phone down for the last few hours before bedtime. Or find a slightly different lane inside my current career.

The truth is, I’m at my happiest when a day is full of bits and bobs of all the things I love and need. And when I translate that microcosm to a week, a month, a year… I tend to be much happier. A life raft of sorts forms around me. Not too heavy or too light in any of my life’s interests or directions.

It doesn’t sound all that exciting on paper. But as a person who deals with mental instability, I’m not going for big highs. I’m going for peace. I want to be in the middle. I want to be Goldilocks.

How are you doing? Sending you light and big, big waves of hope. (Also, a reminder that @twloha and @betterhelp are offering free therapy to any of you who need it. Still a few spots left at my links in bio.)

Mark Duplass - 11.7K Likes - After the holiday madness, Katie and I try to go away for a few quiet days at the beginning of each year. These are special times for us. We don’t do much. Walk, talk, sit and look at some simple aspect of nature. And we think about last year and what we’d like this year to be.

This year, I am having this vision of my ā€œwoogā€ (that special anxiety/depression combination I know so well) as a sort of superpower. Yes, it’s a heavy load to carry. No, I wouldn’t have chosen it for myself. But it has genuinely afforded me some wonderful things. A few off the top of my head:

It forces me to drop deeply into myself and be 100% present. My woogie days don’t fly by unnoticed. That’s a true gift.

It affords me a deeper sense of empathy for anyone I meet who is suffering.

It makes me extra raw and vulnerable, which has directly informed who I am as an artist and a human.

So I’m going to try to co-exist with my woog a bit more peacefully this year. Still be smart and vigilant with my systems (good sleep, proper medication, therapy, clean diet, etc). But I’m going to try to see my woogie visitor as less of my direct nemesis and more of a frenemy. And see what happens.

Mark Duplass - 11.5K Likes - I’m always questioning how hard I should fight anxiety and depression when it comes, and how much I should try to accept it and simply move through it. It’s not a simple answer. But lately I’ve been holding a helpful image.

A river.

I’m on a wide river, fast flowing current, impenetrably high stone walls on either side. This is when my mental health is at its worst. It feels hopeless. All I can think to do is swim against the current and try not to drown. But it’s exhausting, and I get nowhere.

But then I try to remind myself that this river will likely change as it goes along. There will be times when the current slows. The river narrows. There may be some fallen tree trunks lodged in the middle where I can hang on for a moment to take a breather.

So I change my tactic. I stop fighting the current. I flip on my back, look up, and start to float. And have faith that I’ll find some relief when the river brings me the opportunity. And maybe it’ll narrow and the stone walls will recede, and there might even be a nice sandy beach that I can reach. 

And I realize that everything is a phase. And that maybe I just need to ride the river best I can and keep my eyes open for the places on the shore to rest, breathe, and lay in the sun. And be thankful for those moments.

Sending big love. And relentless storms of hope. 

If you find yourself headed somewhere scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24-7.

Side note: since our last IG live I've learned a lot from you all about what's missing in the larger mental health conversation and access to resources. I'm working on some partnerships to help address some of this that I'll be sharing soon. Other side note: please ignore my weird-ass dark hair in this photo. I dyed it for an amazing acting gig (which I'll also let you know more about soon). New instagram live coming shortly to discuss all. Hang in there, everyone!

And that means she is no longer the baby I need to endlessly bounce on a large ball while singing @themagfields THE BOOK OF LOVE to get her to sleep. Life is… bonkers. 

Also, fun update on our short film OH CHRISTMAS TREE. After we premiere at @tribecafilmfestival in early June we’ll screen next at @nantucketfilmfestival, where @jayduplass and @katieaselton showed one of our early short films 20 years ago.

Sometimes you come sit next to me, put your hand on my back, and say ā€œHi. I’m sad, too.ā€ Sometimes it’s a mix of both (my favorite). I appreciate you all so much. 

Just naming a few off the top of my head that are in current rotation…

The Weather Station

Cassandra Jenkins
The Milk Carton Kids
Haley Heynderickx

Ā 
Between the weird weather, limited daylight, and slower energy, it can be a strange time. It’s in these moments (and all year round, really) that we should check in on one another. We should all learn how to spot the warning signs for suicide so we can help our friends, family, and ourselves if it’s ever necessary. Research shows no one takes their life for a single reason. They might show signs of suicidal ideation through talk, behavior, and/or mood.
Ā 
Join @markduplass and @afspnational to #TalkAwayTheDark. Learn how to have a direct conversation about mental health and suicide. Connect someone to help. Find tips and get involved at afsp.org/TalkAwayTheDark (link in AFSP’s bio).

And remember, the amount of daylight is increasing now until the summer solstice!

Mark Duplass - 8.9K Likes - A true story (warning, a little corny).

I have been on set more than usual lately. Working very hard, long hours. The exhaustion is setting in. And because I’m a human being, the ā€œgrass is greenerā€ mentality has started to rear its head. I’ve been thinking how much I miss the quiet, simple days of camping and backpacking in nature. And how once I get back to that lifestyle, then I’ll be happy! A way of thinking that we all know is… not helpful. 

So this past week I’ve tried a different approach. When I can, I sit in my backyard. It’s not the Appalachian Trail by any means. But it’s pretty quiet and there are nice olive trees and some rosemary. Little birds and squirrels. And I try to bring my backpacker’s mindset to this seemingly subpar microcosm of the woods I love so much. And… it’s kinda working. 

And then, this morning, as I was drinking my coffee and looking at nothing in particular. A gorgeous multi-colored hawk flew over my yard and landed in a nearby tree. The kind of hawk I normally only see once I’m deep in the trails. And he just sat there and hung out with me for a little bit. 

As always, if you find yourself heading someplace scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24 hours a day. You belong here. There’s a way forward.

The best part of my birthday was snuggling with my family and watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special. We talked about the bittersweet nature of the holidays. About embracing the paradoxical sadness and joy of it all. It was so comforting to accept it all.

How are you all doing as we approach the holidays? 

Let’s catch up if you’re free tmrw. I’ll be live here Sunday December 10 at 7pm et/4pm pt to talk all things mental health. I’ll also have some fun surprises and resources from the fine folks at @twloha and @betterhelp. 

Hope you are all hanging in there, my dudes. ā¤ļø

Mark Duplass - 8.6K Likes - Money can’t buy happiness. 

But it can buy rescue dogs. 

For most of my life I have been allergic to dogs. And so I was never a ā€œdog person.ā€ But one day we decided to try it anyway and we adopted Blue (the big one). I’ll never forget when I told my incredible, wise friend @jenniferaniston that I was adopting a dog. She looked me in the eye with a gentle, knowing smile and said…

ā€œLet her teach you.ā€

So that’s what I’ve been doing. 

And then we got Murphy (the smaller one). 

And I can’t describe the joy, fun, love and snuggles these pups have brought into our home. 

Rescue a pup. 

They’ll rescue you right back.

Mark Duplass - 7.4K Likes - Last year, during the Hollywood strikes, @ifcfilms released @meleslyn’s and my film BIOSPHERE. It was a project years in the making. It started with a small idea of two men running around an enclosed, post-apocalyptic biodome, arguing about Super Mario Brothers. I brought it to my long time collaborator Mel Eslyn, and it turned into so much more… #nospoilers

The sad part was, we weren’t able to go out and promote the film due to the limitations of the strike. So we went in and out of theaters quickly. And very few people actually saw the film. Which was heartbreaking. But, like all good Hollywood stories, here comes the twist…

As of today we are AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON @hulu! And it feels like this is truly the release of the film. And you can stream it for free this weekend. It’s daring, bold, a little strange, and full of big humor and heart. And the incomparable @sterlingkbrown delivers what I think is his best performance.

So find someone you love (or kinda like) and snuggle up with BIOSPHERE this weekend!

I think FDR had a different context in mind, but this quote sticks with me as it relates to mental health. As those of you have been in the shit can likely attest to, you can become afraid… of becoming afraid. You know what anxiety and depression have done to you in the past. You fear its return, which can seemingly come out of nowhere sometimes. So, like a trauma victim, sometimes even the slightest hint of nerves or sadness can trigger that deeper fear… ā€œOh no. Is it coming for me?ā€

I know this feeling all too well. But I’m getting tired of it. So today, I’m choosing to be like Kevin in Home Alone when he goes down into the basement and comes upon that previously terrifying furnace. I’m gonna look it in the eye, recognize it for what it is, and say what Kevin so eloquently said…

ā€œShut up.ā€

And I think that’s okay. There’s a time to validate those fears. To let them in and reckon with them. But sometimes those fears don’t deserve that attention. They are just irrational relics from our past that no longer serve us. Sometimes I can just tell them to shut up. And go find something more enjoyable to do with my day. 

That’s what I’m gonna try to do today. 

As always, sending you a 100 foot wave of hope and light. If you are having a particularly scary moment, @988lifeline is always a text/chat/phone call away.

I set so many lofty goals for myself. Not a bad thing, but it comes with a lot of stress, pressure, ups and downs. A dynamic and interesting way to live. But at times… exhausting. 

So today I’m going to follow the example of my friend and teacher Blue the dog. I’m going to try to be thankful for the smallest of things. A nice meal. A hug from my kids. A gentle walk in the crisp air. Some time with my book and a decaf coffee. A movie with friends. Today I’m going to be a dog in the sun. And try to reach the place where that’s enough to make it a ā€œgreat day.ā€

Sending you all love, light, and a big-ass wave of hope.

She is so happy with the simplest comforts… food, naps, snuggles, playtime. 

She has taught me so much. Given me so much. 

If you’re missing a little something in your life, please consider pet adoption. 

One of the best decisions @katieaselton and I ever made.

Mark Duplass - 4K Likes - BIOSPHERE, to me, is…

Funny
Heartfelt
Strange
Tender
Absurd
Hopeful

It is also a movie. A movie we made that is very important to me. It came out in a time when we weren’t talking about our movies… and now you have a chance to see it for free!

Streaming now on @amcplus (if you don’t already have it they do a free trial). 

As always, sending light and a ten foot wave of hope.

Mark Duplass - 4K Likes - Duplass Brothers Productions, circa 1978.

An enormous part of who I am (maybe the biggest) is my outsized confidence. It came from loving parents who made me feel safe. And it came from a big brother like Jay, who always looked at me like this. Enjoying me, making me feel loved, funny, smart, worthwhile. It’s the greatest gift imaginable. I think about it daily. And I think about what I can do to give this gift, which was so generously given to me, to others that might need it.

Love you @jayduplass.

TWLOHA and @markduplass will be going live this Sunday, December 10th to have an honest conversation about depression and anxiety—all while fundraising for mental health resources. We are so stoked to have this conversation together all while raising funds that will go directly toward our Treatment   Recovery Scholarship. The ability to keep our waitlist clear and say ā€œyesā€ to as many people as possible is a game-changer.

Mark your calendars. We’ll see you right here on Instagram, December 10th at 7:00 pm ET.

The peak TV bubble has burst and the corporations are doing their thing… cutting, merging, and focusing on the big ticket shows to hold onto their subscribers. That means the medium to small shows are going to die unless we do something. 

Join us at @sxsw and help us usher in a new way of making TV. Let’s do what indie film did for the film industry 30-40 years ago. Let’s foster those unique voices and stories that the industry is ignoring… and let’s prove to them audiences want these stories. That it’s not just good for the world, it’s also good business.

TWLOHA’s Treatment   Recovery Scholarship tears down the financial barriers to therapy so that people can receive care without wondering how they’re going to pay for it. But this scholarship isn’t possible without support from you.

The fundraiser attached to this post is being matched dollar for dollar through a partnership between TWLOHA and Mark Duplass. If we can raise $10k here on Instagram, that will be a total of $20k invested directly into treatment   recovery.

Your support has brought us so far, and we are so close to that milestone. Donate, share, and remind people that they are not alone in their fight. Hope is real and help is possible.

Your support has brought us so far, and we are so close to that milestone. Donate, share, and remind people that they are not alone in their fight. Hope is real and help is possible.
