Between Breaths
Between Breaths is a short film inspired by my experience of blacking out underwater while freediving in Indonesia in August 2023, during my training to become a freediving instructor.
Losing consciousness underwater was a complete loss of control unlike anything I had experienced before; an incident that rippled into deeper questions of identity, purpose, and trust.
This film is a way of processing that moment and its aftermath, a space to give the anger, fear, and grief that followed a place to live outside my body.
Shot in Cornwall and rooted in personal experience, creating Between Breaths has been a practice in vulnerability, courage, and learning to trust again from a place of disconnection.
It is also an offering— an invitation for others to sit with their own fear, to acknowledge what has been lost, and, perhaps, to trust again.
