Director Statement

I love silent films. I wish I was around during that era of entertainment and especially because of that style of filmmaking. I saw "The Artist" a few years ago and it inspired me to one day make a silent film. Last year, we made "A RAGE" and loved the process of it so much that I started to form more silent ideas in my head.
"Mime" came to me one day, out of the blue, which I suppose is my creative wont, and I got so excited at the aspect of it; everything about it I love: the makeup, the miming, shooting in old school 4:3, directing my little sister, etc. Silent films should never die out; in fact, I feel more of them should be made nowadays. It's an art form that I hope never leaves.
