Stef Dawson Instagram – After loss, the world becomes muted.
🎬
Selectively mute after the trauma of loss, ‘MUTED’ follows one boy’s silent journey as he finds his voice through small acts of kindness by a girl at camp.
This is a little taste of the 15 minute short we created over a few days at the 2021 Performing Arts Camp run by the school of @aipa_sydney Starring @harri_and_may and @evekkirk_ as well as @christiehayes_ who lent her vast experience to this film and gave such a stunning performance. I couldn’t have asked for a more talented or dedicated group to work with to step behind the lens for my first time directing!!
Shot beautifully with Tony Jennings @smilingmandrill masterful eye, with stunning & meticulous sound by Jack Moiseyev edited by the brilliant Maika Harrell. A huge thank you to all those who worked hard on ‘Muted’, both in front of and behind the camera at camp.
My first taste of directing lit a fire in me, definitely got the bug, much more to come I hope. Thank you to Marg Haynes @margsultana for creating this story that resonated so deeply with me and with this team!
