Khaamoshi - Silent Movie Making
If one picture speaks a thousand words, then a movie could be deafeningly loud. So what if it is only a silent movie? Silent movies have a charm of their own, and their creation is an art form in itself.
Constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating.
The Bottom Line: Create a silent film: No dialogue; submit it a few days before Mood Indigo.
