Silent Sparks

Effectively fusing romance into a slick neo-noir, Silent Sparks spins a tale of deep longing in an unexpected milieu, capturing a sumptuous beauty in the night streets where the possibility of risk and romance go hand-in-hand. Preceded by Like What Would Sorrow Look.

This film is a recipient of a Frameline Completion Fund grant.
