Safe and Sound (2021)

John becomes obsessed with almost every little sound around him and as his behavior gets worse, so does his personal life.

Shot in a single day, this story is told without dialogue and plays heavily on framing and editing, as well as score. It also served as an introduction to production logistics in the USA, paving the way for things to come.

As usual with every new project, I needed to set a new challenge for myself. This time, it was efficiency. With many set-ups shared between two locations at either end of the city, the goal was to not only achieve the coverage necessary but more importantly to do it while preserving cast and crew morale.

Challenge completed. Throughout the film’s production process, I have met and grown to know people I will most definitely collaborate with again in the future.

Produced by Nicholas Nyhof
