Watch The Silent City For Free

Touches You

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

With an effective opening, we find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with soldiers alert for any hint of the enemy. What is the actual conflict, what countries are they from, and is that really Cillian Murphy? In the end, the answers do not make a difference(albeit with that last one, you can find out), because we're so drawn in, and there's no sense of sides taken.With a running time of 6 and a half minutes(or 7 if you include end credits), it's impressive that this gets so far, and doesn't feel like it's rushing to get there. The atmosphere is rich, effectively built and maintained. Aiding it are great FX, distant shots that increase the scope, and impressive production design.Everything in this feels real, worn. The acting is convincing. Character development is smooth - with subtle hints, we realize who these people are, and it pays off so quickly that you don't even have time to consciously note that something was setup. This feels like part of a bigger story, leaving us wanting more - without us finding it incomplete.There is a lot of disturbing content and some brutal bloody violence in this. I recommend this to any fan of sci-fi and anti-war fiction. 7/10

Great short film! My complaint is the same as anyone else who has seen it... it's too short! I would love to see a full-length feature film based on the premise presented here. The marriage of computer graphics and live footage was done well. The acting, direction and story were very good based on what little was presented here. Although the whole "movie" was only about five minutes in length the atmosphere, character development and tension were bang-on (no pun intended). I don't know who is behind this short production but I hope this is a prelude to future developments.Good work!

I just loved this short film. The only thing I could say bad about this is... I WANT MORE!!!!!!!The feeling of being a soldier in a place that you could die in at any second was really well brought over. It reminded me of one of my favorite characters from 2000 AD, Rogue Trooper. I expected him to show up at any second :)The acting is also powerful. What a powerful statement for the troops now facing death in foreign lands.Brilliant - Please make this a full length film.Tony

The story revolves around 3 soldiers who are on the outskirts of a war torn city. They are patrolling an area when a bomb is accidentally set off and they have to wait for help. The short is, well, pretty short. Clocking in at just around 5 minutes, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot you can do in that amount of time but the imagery was certainly there. Well done cinematography and CG make for what could possibly be a full length ordeal if done by the same people.It took a bit, but while watching it I couldn't help but think that one of the soldiers looked a lot like Cillian Murphy. When the credits rolled, sure enough up came his name.Would definitely like to see more from this team.
