By Your Side

Director Jago Stock explores the emotions of lost relationships and the lives attached to them through the memory of brighter days


Reflecting on a breakup from 10 years down the line, short film By Your Side explores the ripple effect of broken relationships, and the loss attached to friendships and a life built together. Shot and directed by Jago Stock, and created with Somesuch, the film unfolds as a retrospective story of a brighter time, told through a painful voicemail.

Constructed from conversations with friends and shared stories, By Your Side captures the weight of separation when a past relationship marks the end of a friendship, looking back at sweet memories from a newly-shaped perspective.
