Director Statement

Director’s statement -

In my second collaboration with actress/producer Linda Collins, I wrote Silent Harmony to highlight Linda’s musical abilities and tell a tale of healing with as few words as possible. We decided that the story would almost exclusively be told through the use of Linda’s piano composition and a silent chess game. To make the film more personal for all, we paid 
homage to co-lead Travis Grant’s jujitsu journey from being a champion to needing multiple hip surgeries at a young age. The characters connect and heal their individual pain in a shared, silent world.
