Lewis Capaldi 'Stay Love' by Jack Lightfoot, Sam Nutt

David Knight - 3rd June 2026
Jack Lightfoot and Sam Nutt have directed a quietly devastating film for Lewis Capaldi.
Presented as a tribute to the huge number of people who dedicate themselves to caring for incapacitated family members - and the numbers presented at the end of the film are jawdropping - Lightfoot and Nutt's video for is a story of a son looking after his father who has dementia.
It's a cinematic depiction of a very realistic situation, and its strength comes from the lack of theatrics. It's through a series of mundane events, that need to be repeated every single day, that we get to appreciate the level of burden upon the young carer.
The film, which features excellent performances from Paul Dewdney and Stephen McMillan, comes from a very personal place, for Jack Lightfoot.
"For the past 15 years, my dad has been living with dementia," he explains. "Watching someone you love go through that is incredibly difficult. And alongside that journey is another one that often goes unseen - the journey of the person who stays beside them through it all. For my family, that’s been my mum.
"Through the hardest years, she’s been there every day - caring, supporting, comforting, and giving more of herself than I ever thought possible. It’s a level of strength, patience and love that’s difficult to put into words.
"This film was inspired by witnessing that journey. It’s dedicated to my mum, and to carers everywhere - wives, husbands, daughters and, as in our film, sons. To the people who stay."
