S U N R I S E

Sunrise is a film about suicide, and the conversations we didn’t know we needed to have.

When Ruben, a cold-calling scam artist calls another faceless victim, he speaks with Jemima, and together they share a conversation that will change both their lives.

Directed by Cam Cairnduff, Sunrise is proud to be produced in the Channel Islands.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT

When the world went into lockdown many lost the connections that gave them their reasons for living.

Tragically, amongst them was my ex-girlfriend Sarah. We had been together 4 years, and in February of last year, she lost her battle with depression and took her own life.

Throughout the pre-production, I have worked with coaches, therapists and mental health charities, and have found that the basic skills of patience and listening are fundamental to those in need and could save a life.

This film depicts the final conversation I wish I could have had with Sarah.
