{The Sounds of Silence}
With the recent wild success of The Artist, silent film seems to be turning heads once more. And so it seems a fitting time to share again our collaborative silent film series based on the comical misadventures of the modern tramp, Willie Jones. Being we’re in the thick of winter in Minneapolis, our proof of concept episode feels like the right fit. Enjoy our slapstick romp through a very white MSP. Dig into more episodes at the series website.

“A day without laughter is a day wasted.” ~Charlie Chaplin
I’ve been having a blast making short films with physical comedian and Cirque clown Wayne Wilson for a couple of years. We were able to spend some time together in Brooklyn this weekend after I finished up a shoot for Sprint in midtown Manhattan with Jonathan Chapman. Wayne is always up for letting the moment take us where it might and I think we may have captured some of that in these images. You can view our first short film collaboration here and even catch a preview of our latest silent comedy epic on the big outdoor screen in Steven’s Square in Minneapolis on July 21st as part of Cinema & Civics.
