Beachy Head - 2008/2009
'As his eyes fell shut - the world became quiet, still and dark. The angry flame softened to a warm glow and his head was filled with dreaming.'
It's been a month since Stephen jumped.
Amy is called to collect her husbands effects - the things he had with him that night gathered in a single box. She is haunted by the fractured memories of their last week together - rewinding, replaying, unravelling. She is in desperate need of someone to listen.
Joe and Matt are making a documentary. Whilst reviewing their footage they make a startling discovery. By chance they have caught Stephen's fall on film - a timelapse shot preserving 8 frames of his jump.
Amy, Joe and Matt help each other to find out what traces a suicide leaves behind. But as the lid on Stephen's box come off for the first time what discoveries will she make, and will they force her to re-edit the way sheremembers him?
