The things we never said…

𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙋𝙞𝙘𝙠 / Something to Miss

Drifting between a present-day phone conversation and vivid fragments of a relationship they once shared, two former partners reconnect after time apart. Reflecting on the small, beautiful details that once held them together, one of them opens up more honestly than they ever have before. The film captures the raw emotion of looking back, and the quiet sadness of realizing how much of yourself you left unseen.

New from Trust: Something to Miss
Written & Directed by Brendan Barnard

An intimate and reflective exploration of the quiet tragedy of unspoken emotions in a relationship.

Drifting between a present-day phone conversation and fragments of a relationship they once shared, two former partners reconnect after time apart. As memories resurface, the film reflects on love, loss, and the quiet sadness of realizing how much of yourself you left unseen.

“I think I’m really drawn to work that feels intimate and real. Stories about relationships between people, and relationships with yourself.” —Brendan Barnard
