Le Vagabond

Le Vagabond

A silent film about a lost soul who experiences the redemptive power of love.

This is a story about a lonely wanderer who encounters love everywhere he roams yet remains an outsider. He seems destined to a life of solitude and isolation until a simple twist of fate and a little touch of magic bring him deliverance.

Director Statement

My intention behind the creation of Le Vagabond was to make a film with heart, soul, depth of emotion, and a little touch of magic. We can all relate in some way to this film's lonely wanderer. The search for connection, friendship and love are universal, as are the feelings of solitude and separation. As we all know, film can be a powerful tool for not only artistic expression and communication, but also can touch people's lives in profound ways. I wanted to contribute something to uplift and inspire.

Interesting side note: all members of the cast and crew are currently on tour with the Cirque du Soleil show TOTEM. We filmed this last winter in Fukuoka, Japan on a few very cold and windy days in the midst of a pretty grueling five city tour. The music was recorded and mixed in Sendai, Japan and the final edit was completed in Sochi, Russia.
