Danny Dyer is to star in a short film directed by a 17-year-old in a bid to raise money for mental health charities.
Stepping Stone is written, directed and produced by first-time filmmaker Noah Caplan, who was inspired to begin work on the project when his younger sister suffered a life-threatening accident.
The 30-minute film, which has now wrapped, follows four characters from different walks of life suffering issues including domestic abuse, alcoholism and living with anxiety.

It aims to highlight how the first step towards gaining help is speaking to someone.
Alongside EastEnders actor Danny, the film also stars Noah, David 'Sideman' Whitely and Georgia Moncur, while Cush Berlyn plays the role of a counsellor.
Stepping Stone is described as a project aiming 'to break the negative stigmas surrounding mental health and get the world talking about an issue that is so rife'.
