Hollywood 1932. With the arrival of sound, a silent film director sells his soul in exchange for success. "Silent" is a fable about the importance of music in movies and an homage to silent films at the time of their decline.

"'Silent' is economical but ambitious and stylized, dense; it covers a lot of characters and territory in short time. There is a strong control of acting, lighting, makeup, casting... it's very graphic, like a cartoon or parody."

John Hanhardt,
Curator of Film and Video
Guggenheim Museum, NY

"'Silent' is meticulously crafted and quite compelling, echoing back to the great days of silents."

Jason A. White,
Film Program Director
Austin Film Festival
