SOUND/VISION is about music, which is a profound art form, even more personal than movies. It's a means of communication that goes beyond words. Our film is also about connection between two people of different cultures; it's the story of individuals tentatively finding their way towards each other. It's about finding a mentor, and how the teacher grows from an experience with the student. Students often are the best teachers. We approached the material hesitantly, much the way the characters do, and were careful about the way we handled sentiment. Friendship is beautiful, and the bonds that we make during pivotal moments in our lives stay with us forever, haunting us like pleasant ghosts.
