One Summer on Earth

During the initial lockdown of 2020, filmmaker J Taylor-Jones realised that they were changing. Life was harder in lockdown and that took a toll on their mental health. After the lockdown ended and 'freedom' returned, they realised how delicate that life is.

​

With that new realisation under their belt, the second lockdown hit, launching them into the worst period of suffering they had ever been through. As that lockdown eased and their mental health healed, J realised that their life is a beautiful and so precious, leading to them taking their camera out wherever they went during the summer of 2021, capturing life's subtle beauty as it happened.

​

One Summer on Earth is a collection of these moments, accompanied by short pieces of narration written by J as they lived with a new perspective of life in one of the most important periods of their life so far.
