info
First film to be shot using a Nintendo Gameboy Camera. Played CANNES Film Festival Digital Showcase. About a pianist dealing with the death of a loved one, cost $100, and looks raw but effective, oddly recalling the silent-film era. Separate into 3 parts:
1, forbearance from speech or noise: muteness - often used interjectionally
2, absence of sound or noise: stillness
3, absence of mention: oblivion
This short film tells the story of a piano players' days and nights consumed by visions of his lost love. The first film to be shot using the NINTENDO GAMEBOY CAMERA. Written by the talented Joshua Shane Davis, whose prior credits include an option to 20th Century Fox, the film stars the very talented, stage actor, Jason Buuck, who won the 2000 National Kennedy Award - Irene Ryan for best male theatre actor. Directed by John A. Taylor and Brent A. Sims of Cactus Pudding Productions(cactuspudding.com) SILENCE was one of the ten films to play the first 1999 Official Digital Showcase at CANNES International Film Festival. SILENCE toured with D.FILM FEST TOUR in 98/99(Sundance 99) and went on to play over ten international film festivals. This is the perfect short film to examine how a Nintendo Gameboy Camera can be used to shoot film.
