"It can take years to get over the loss of a loved one, but it can take a few heartbeats to lose yourself." Inspired by a childhood memory, artist and filmmaker Ed Lawrenson fuses the sound of his heartbeat with the imagined sound of Roman soldiers marching through tunnels beneath his childhood home, to create a deeply personal short film that explores loss and memory.

Ed is an artist and filmmaker based in the North East. He enjoys making work that evokes emotions that often represents some portions of his personal life, albeit through surreal methods. Isn't that real life?

Made as part of the First Acts scheme for young filmmakers
