    New Role of Sound: it is what connects to his inner feelings and the ghost orchestra – but doesn’t solely carry the story now. It is a part of it, just like the rest :

    because we got into the visuals and it made sense to us to also focus on visuals. It naturally developed and it felt like the focus on the sound limited us.

    We managed to make much more with the visuals than we thought we can do. Now each dimension of the film equally tells its part of the story.

    The Red Thread

    the colour RED connects:

    • emotions
    • ghost orchestra
    • protagonist
    • sound

    We chose the color red to act as a visual thread throughout the entire film. It appears always in connection with the bodies listed above.

    Questions we have

    How do you feel about the name ” Ghost Orchestra” for our film?

    Introducing ” The Ones Who Break the Silence”

    The Ones Who Break the SilenceDownload
    • The world celebrates its 70th anniversary of achieving a technological utopia, created by the powerful billionaires who essentially rule it.
    • The protagonist is introduced after watching the news.
    • He wanders through this perfect world and discovers a strange object that makes a sound.
    • At first uncertain, he takes the object with him the next time he encounters it.
    • Over time, he figures out that the object reacts to sounds of frustration.
    • While experimenting with it, he begins a personal journey.
    • Through the object and the release of his frustrations, he stops feeling alone, reconnects with his emotions, and learns to accept himself as an imperfect human in a technically perfect world.

    “We live in a world that has masked the amount of complexity in which we actually operate. And so as a society we have a bit of a difficulty negotiating ourselves with complexity. So it’s really important to put notions of complexity on stage as other aesthetic notions that we can get comfortable with.” (Excerpt from Discussion with Andrea Pena)
