Beyond Words - Tropfest Australia Finalist

This video is awesome! It's a short film that got into the finalists category in the recent Tropfest Australia.



It shows this young lady, who's deaf, getting ready to attend her yoga class.

As she enters the class, she notices that a suspicious character, also in the class, keeps looking in her direction.

At the end of the class, she's slightly relieved to find out that this person is actually blind.

In different, she left and made her way to her car.

Out of nowhere, a stranger grabs her from behind, demanding for the keys to her car.

Being deaf, she couldn't hear what he was saying.

Little did she know, the blind man from earlier actually walked up, and managed to scare the assailant off.

I love how the videography works, how they swap between silent video, and a black screen with audio, to show the contrast between the worlds of the blind and the deaf.

Not that it's a really exciting or scary show, just that the message is simple yet with a twist. Great stuff.
