Silence is amnesty
2023
In a world bereft of music, a lonely man seeks escape from silence while evading the pursuit of a mysterious government agent.
"Silence is Amnesty," co-written by Tyler Waldriff and myself in early 2023, was conceived as a project that would be easy to shoot on a modest budget while carrying a profound narrative. The story unfolds in a world where nostalgia is heavily regulated, making it illegal to tap into these emotions through music. This narrative-driven short film marked my debut in storytelling through film, presenting significant challenges in post-production. It provided me with the opportunity to expand my skills as a filmmaker, particularly in enhancing my editing proficiency, delving into intricate sound design, and mastering automated dialogue replacement to bring the story to life on screen. Through this project, I've grown both creatively and technically, overcoming hurdles to deliver a compelling narrative that resonates beyond its production constraints.
