“There was something in the silence of the script that not only moved me but made me cry. Actual tears. Breathe Out isn’t just a short film, it’s a visual meditation on grief, memory, and quiet resistance. I knew instantly I wanted to help tell this story through light, shadow, and authenticity.” Directed by Aggie Nyagari, Breathe Out is a powerful short film exploring healing, loss, and the spaces in between. Shot with intention and intimacy, this film invites you to sit in the stillness and listen to what isn’t said. ✨ Stay tuned as we bring this story to life, frame by frame. #BreatheOutFilm #ShortFilm #Cinematography #IndieFilm #emotionshitdifferent #WomenDirectors #AfricanDiasporaCinema #MentalHealthAwareness #ArtHouseFilm #VisualStorytelling #AggieNyagariSalt #BIPOCFilmmakers #GriefAndHealing #globalmajorityvoices #BehindTheLens #BristolFilmscene #UKIndieFilm
